A compact slab serif with heavy, bracketed terminals and a distinctly inked, stamped presence. Strokes show clear modulation: sturdy vertical stems are paired with thinner connecting strokes, while the slabs read as dense blocks that strongly anchor each letter. Counters are relatively tight and the overall fit is compact, giving text a dark, even color at display sizes. Several joins and inner corners feel slightly scooped or notched, lending an ink-trap/press-friendly character rather than crisp, geometric sharpness.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short paragraphs where a bold, authoritative texture is desirable. The compact proportions and sturdy slabs also make it effective for labels, packaging, and signage where strong edges and a print-forward look help text hold up in busy compositions.
The tone is utilitarian and confident, with a vintage print-shop flavor. It suggests machinery, labeling, and old editorial headlines—assertive without feeling playful or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable, print-centric slab serif with strong terminals and controlled contrast, balancing editorial readability with an industrial, display-ready bite.
The serifs and terminals are consistently weighty, creating a strong baseline and cap-line rhythm. Rounded letters (like O and Q) retain a firm, engineered structure, and the numerals match the letterforms with similarly solid slabs and compact proportions.
