A wide, slab-serif design with blunt, square-cut serifs and largely even stroke weight that creates a firm, engineered texture. Curves are broad and open (notably in C, O, and e), while joins and interior corners often tighten into crisp, squared shapes that give an almost machined rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, with compact, squared terminals and a straightforward, utilitarian construction; the numerals are broad and steady, with generous counters and a strong baseline presence.
This font suits headlines, posters, and display typography where a bold, sturdy impression is needed, and it can also work well for branding, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. In text settings it will be most effective in short runs (pull quotes, subheads, labels) where its wide proportions and slab details can remain crisp and intentional.
The overall tone feels industrial and workmanlike, with a retro American-printing sensibility that reads confident rather than delicate. Its squared details and wide stance lend a dependable, institutional character—more “factory signage” than “bookish refinement.”
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of broad, open forms with an assertive slab-serif framework, prioritizing sturdiness and impact over delicate contrast. Its square terminals and consistent stroke behavior suggest a goal of reliable legibility and a distinctly industrial, print-forward personality.
Spacing and proportions emphasize horizontal spread, producing a strong headline color and clear word shapes at larger sizes. The squared serif treatment stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping the face maintain a unified, structured voice in mixed-case settings.
