A heavy, block-built slab with squared-off serifs and blunt, flat terminals. Strokes keep a largely even weight, with compact counters and tight interior spaces that emphasize a dense, poster-like color on the page. Curves are restrained and often squared into softened corners, while joins show subtle notches and cut-ins that add definition at small apertures. Uppercase forms read strong and architectural; lowercase keeps the same chunky structure with a single-storey a and g and short, sturdy extenders.
Best suited for display settings where strong silhouettes matter: headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, labels, and signage. It performs particularly well when you want a compact, high-impact typographic block for short phrases, titles, or badge-style compositions.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a rugged, workwear character that can also lean into a Western or collegiate poster feel. Its squared details and packed shapes give it a confident, sign-painting energy rather than a delicate or literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, squared shapes and prominent slabs, echoing utilitarian letterpress and sign styles. Its simplified geometry and consistent weight suggest a focus on clarity and punch in large sizes rather than delicate text rendering.
The numerals are similarly compact and weighty, designed to hold their shape in large display use. The face maintains consistent slab presence across straight and curved forms, producing a steady rhythm with pronounced horizontal emphasis and crisp, mechanical edges.
