A heavy, slanted slab-serif design with broad proportions and sturdy, rectangular serifs that read as squared-off blocks. Strokes are low-contrast and consistently thick, with compact counters and a firm baseline, producing a dense, impactful texture in text. The italic/oblique construction introduces a steady forward lean while keeping forms blunt and mechanical rather than calligraphic, and the overall rhythm stays even and tightly spaced across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-form copy where strong impact and quick recognition matter. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from an industrial or vintage voice, especially when a sense of speed or emphasis is desired through the slanted style.
The face communicates a tough, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly retro, workwear character. Its forward slant adds momentum and attitude, making it feel energetic and assertive rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to blend the firmness and utility of slab serifs with the immediacy of an italic slant, creating a bold, energetic face that stays robust and readable in dense settings.
Figures are chunky and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ squared, slabby language. The overall silhouette favors strong horizontal terminals and block-like joins, giving paragraphs a dark, punchy color that holds up well at display and subhead sizes.
