A compact, heavy slab-serif with squared-off terminals and a strong, even stroke weight. The forms are tightly proportioned with short extenders and a relatively large footprint, creating dense, high-impact word shapes. Counters are small but clearly cut, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and numerals) are flattened slightly for a more block-like silhouette. Serifs read as blunt slabs with minimal to no bracketing, reinforcing a sturdy, machined feel across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for display settings where impact and compactness matter—headlines, posters, packaging fronts, and storefront or wayfinding text at larger sizes. It can also work for logo wordmarks and short editorial callouts where a robust slab-serif voice is desired.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a workmanlike, industrial character that also nods to vintage poster and newspaper display typography. Its compact rhythm and chunky details convey authority and durability rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed footprint while preserving legibility through clear counters and simple, squared serif construction. The consistent weight and blunt terminals suggest a practical display face built for strong reproduction and attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase construction is especially monolithic, while the lowercase introduces a friendlier texture through rounder bowls and sturdy stems. Numerals are thick and emphatic, matching the overall weight and maintaining strong consistency for headlines and labeling.
