A heavy, blocky slab-serif with low stroke modulation and a wide stance. The serifs are prominent and mostly squared, with subtle bracketing and softened joins that keep the texture from feeling brittle. Counters are relatively compact and the overall rhythm is steady and even, producing strong word shapes at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same solid, grounded construction, with consistent vertical stress and clear, sturdy terminals.
This style performs best for headlines, posters, labels, and branding that need a strong, grounded voice. It also suits signage and short text blocks where clarity and impact matter more than airy readability at small sizes.
The tone is utilitarian and dependable, leaning industrial and workmanlike while still feeling approachable due to the slightly rounded shaping. It projects confidence and solidity rather than refinement, making it read as practical and straightforward.
The design appears intended as a dependable, high-impact slab serif that prioritizes visual strength and straightforward legibility. Its consistent construction and restrained detailing suggest a workhorse display face built to feel robust across a range of bold typographic applications.
In text, the dense strokes and firm serifs create a dark, emphatic color on the page. The squared details and restrained curves keep the style cohesive across upper- and lowercase, supporting a uniform, print-forward look.
