A compact, heavy slab-serif with square-ended strokes and dense, dark typographic color. Serifs are blunt and rectangular, and curves are tight, producing a blocky silhouette with minimal stroke modulation. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and joins stay crisp and sturdy, giving both uppercase and lowercase a stable, poster-ready rhythm. Figures match the same chunky construction, reading clearly and consistently alongside the letters.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where impact and clarity are the priority—posters, signage, labels, and packaging. It also works well for brand marks and promotional typography that needs a sturdy, attention-grabbing voice.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a vintage, workmanlike confidence. It feels familiar in a classic American display tradition—strong, dependable, and slightly nostalgic—while remaining straightforward and highly legible at large sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with simple, robust geometry: blunt slabs, compact proportions, and a consistent, heavy construction for confident display typography.
Spacing appears compact and the letterforms lean on strong verticals and squared shoulders, which creates a tight, emphatic texture in text settings. The design maintains a consistent slab vocabulary across cases, helping headlines look uniform and impact-focused.
