A heavy slab serif with broad proportions and a strong, rectangular skeleton. Strokes are predominantly monolinear, with thick, squared slabs that read as slightly bracketed rather than razor-sharp. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are compact, giving letters a dense, poster-like color. Curves are firm and controlled (notably in C, S, and O), and joins show subtle angularity that reinforces a constructed, display-forward feel. The numerals are similarly weighty and stable, with simple, bold forms designed for clarity at large sizes.
Best suited to display applications where maximum impact is desired, such as editorial headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold packaging. It can also serve as a strong logotype base when a solid, classic slab-serif presence is needed.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a vintage, print-era sturdiness that feels at home in headlines and signage. Its mass and compact counters create a no-nonsense voice—confident, slightly nostalgic, and built to command attention rather than disappear into body text.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable, attention-grabbing slab-serif voice with a compact, print-friendly rhythm. Its emphasis on weight, firm curves, and prominent slabs suggests a goal of high visibility and a classic, industrial-leaning personality for large-scale typography.
In the sample text, the dense spacing and heavy slabs produce a dark, continuous texture that benefits from generous line spacing. The rounded shapes maintain good presence without becoming soft, balancing warmth with a utilitarian, engineered character.
