A heavy slab-serif with squared, flat-ended strokes and broadly rectangular counters. The design uses sturdy, nearly uniform stroke weight with minimal modulation, and terminals that feel cut off cleanly, producing a dense, mechanical rhythm. Serifs are thick and blunt with little to no bracketing, and many curves are slightly squared off, especially in bowls and corners. Spacing reads compact and purposeful, with a strong baseline presence and crisp, high-impact silhouettes across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display use such as posters, headlines, packaging, and bold branding where strong shapes and a compact, high-contrast-in-mass look are assets. It can also work for signage and labels, especially when a rugged, stamped or industrial impression is desired.
The tone is tough and workmanlike, evoking vintage industrial labeling and frontier poster typography. Its blunt slabs and squared geometry give it a no-nonsense, authoritative voice that can feel both retro and utilitarian depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a slab-serif voice that stays geometric and squared rather than calligraphic. Its consistent stroke weight, blunt serifs, and compact construction suggest an emphasis on durability, clarity, and a vintage display character.
Uppercase forms lean wide and monolithic, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, legible structure with sturdy stems. Numerals are equally blocky and sign-like, designed to hold up at large sizes where their squared details and thick serifs read clearly.
