A heavy, high-impact slab serif with squared-off terminals and broad, rectangular serifs that read as solid “feet” on stems. Strokes are consistently thick with tight interior counters, giving the letters a compact, punchy texture in text. Curves are simplified and sturdy (notably in C, O, S, and lower-case bowls), while joins and corners tend to feel crisp and machined. Overall spacing appears relatively tight, producing dense, emphatic word shapes that hold up well at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where strong typographic color and immediate legibility are priorities. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, authoritative slab-serif voice and compact, impactful lines of text.
The font conveys a bold, no-nonsense attitude with a distinctly utilitarian, poster-ready presence. Its squared slabs and compact forms suggest an industrial and slightly retro tone—assertive rather than delicate, and designed to be noticed quickly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and clarity with minimal ornament, using squared slabs and simplified curves to create a durable, attention-grabbing display face. Its consistent heaviness and compact counters suggest an emphasis on bold messaging and reliable reproduction in high-contrast applications.
The lowercase shows a robust, geometric construction with short extenders and a prominent, weighty presence; the single-storey forms (such as a and g) keep the texture straightforward and highly legible in headlines. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly wide, blocky silhouettes and strong horizontal stress, reinforcing a cohesive, uniform voice across alphanumerics.
