A heavy, slab-serif design with broad proportions and a solid, even color on the page. Stems are thick and steady, with chunky, mostly rectangular serifs that read as slightly bracketed in places rather than razor-sharp. Counters are generous for the weight, and curves (O, C, S) are full and round, helping maintain clarity despite the dense strokes. The lowercase shows a single-storey g with a prominent ear and sturdy terminals, while figures are wide and strongly set, matching the overall mass and rhythm of the text.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, and identity work where a strong, sturdy voice is needed. It can also work in editorial callouts or short blocks of text when you want a dense, impactful typographic color.
The tone is bold and workmanlike, suggesting reliability and straightforwardness. Its strong slabs and wide stance give it an industrial, poster-ready character, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a stable, classic slab-serif structure—balancing industrial strength with enough roundness and openness to remain readable in real-world settings.
In paragraph-like samples, the font creates a dark, authoritative texture with clear word shapes. The heavy serifs and wide forms favor headline settings, but the relatively open counters help it stay legible as lines get longer.
