A compact, heavy slab-serif with squared terminals and a strongly rectangular construction. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and tight internal counters that create a dense, high-impact texture. Serifs read as bold blocks rather than delicate bracketed details, and many joins and curves resolve into firm, flattened edges that reinforce the font’s boxy rhythm. Proportions are condensed with tall, upright silhouettes, producing a stacked, economical fit and a consistent, punchy color across lines.
Best suited to short, bold applications where impact matters: posters, headlines, labels, branding marks, and sign-style treatments. It can also work for athletic or heritage-themed graphics and editorial display settings, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing.
The overall tone feels assertive and workmanlike, with a rugged, no-nonsense presence. Its chunky slabs and compressed stance evoke vintage signage and display typography used for impact—confident, slightly nostalgic, and built to be noticed.
The design appears intended as a forceful display slab that prioritizes visibility and a compact footprint. Its squared serifs and uniform weight suggest an emphasis on sturdy, utilitarian clarity and a vintage sign-and-poster flavor rather than delicate text refinement.
In the sample text, the dense stroke mass and condensed spacing create a strong headline texture, while the tight apertures and counters can make long passages feel heavy. Numerals and capitals appear especially bold and sign-like, supporting a blunt, authoritative voice.
