A heavy, block-structured slab serif with square, flat-ended serifs and minimal stroke modulation. The letterforms are broad and steady, with thick verticals and horizontals that stay consistent across the alphabet. Serifs read as rectangular blocks rather than tapered or calligraphic, creating a firm baseline and strong horizontal rhythm. Counters are relatively compact and apertures are more closed, which increases solidity and density in text. The figures follow the same robust construction, with simple, sturdy shapes that hold up well at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, short passages, and display settings where bold presence is needed—such as posters, signage, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when a firm, no-nonsense tone is desired, especially at moderate to large sizes where the dense counters remain clear.
The overall tone is forceful and dependable, with an industrial and slightly collegiate flavor. Its chunky slabs and compact interiors give it a poster-like confidence that feels practical rather than delicate. The impression is classic and workmanlike, leaning retro without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, highly legible slab-serif voice with squared terminals and consistent stroke strength. Its construction emphasizes stability, impact, and a clear, structured rhythm that reads well in attention-grabbing typographic applications.
In the text sample, the weight and tight interior spaces create a strong, dark typographic color, making it most comfortable where emphasis and impact are prioritized over airy readability. The forms maintain consistent geometry and a squared-off finish across caps, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a unified, utilitarian voice.
