A heavy, square-serif text face with blunt, rectangular serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves are tightened and slightly squared-off, giving round letters like O/C an engineered, compact feel rather than a soft bowl. The overall color is dense and even, with short, firm terminals, sturdy joins, and a pragmatic rhythm that favors stability over delicacy. Numerals are similarly robust and plainspoken, matching the letterforms’ blocky presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where strong letterforms and clear structure are advantageous. It can also work for short editorial callouts, pull quotes, and branding applications that benefit from a sturdy, traditional slab presence.
The tone is strong and no-nonsense, leaning toward industrial and workmanlike, with a mild vintage/collegiate flavor common to display-oriented slab styles. It reads confident and dependable, designed to hold attention through mass and structure rather than ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a stable, utilitarian silhouette—pairing heavy strokes with square serifs to create a readable, emphatic voice for display and short-form text.
At text sizes the heavy serifs and tight counters can build a dark typographic texture, while at larger sizes the squared details and compact curves become a defining visual signature. The consistent, rectangular finishing gives headings a stamped or sign-painted feel.
