A compact slab-serif with thick, even strokes and squared-off terminals that create a blocky, mechanical silhouette. Serifs are heavy and largely unbracketed, with flat feet and caps that emphasize horizontal stability. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward closed, giving the face a dense, poster-ready color. The rhythm is straightforward and consistent, with crisp corners, minimal modulation, and an overall rectangular geometry across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
This font performs best in headlines and short blocks of text where a strong, dense texture is desirable, such as posters, packaging, and bold editorial titling. It also suits signage and brand marks that benefit from a compact, industrial slab-serif voice.
The overall tone feels sturdy and workmanlike, with a vintage-print and industrial flavor. Its dense texture and squared details project authority and practicality rather than delicacy, reading as confident and slightly nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful slab-serif look with squared terminals and a consistent, ink-trap-free weight, prioritizing impact and a no-nonsense typographic presence in display settings.
Uppercase forms appear particularly strong and sign-like, while the lowercase maintains a compact presence that supports solid paragraph color. Numerals share the same squared, weighty construction, helping mixed text feel cohesive and robust.
