A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, mostly uniform strokes and squared, bracketed terminals. The letterforms are compact and wide-set, with generous counters and clear internal shapes that keep weight from clogging at text sizes. Serifs read as thick rectangular slabs with subtle curvature into the stems, giving a slightly softened, print-like edge rather than a razor-sharp geometric finish. Curves (C, O, S) are full and steady, while joints and apertures stay open; numerals share the same robust, blocky construction for consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, stable presence is needed. It also works well for packaging and signage thanks to its sturdy serifs and open counters, and can hold up in short text blocks or pull quotes when a dense, editorial texture is desired.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a hint of vintage print and signage. Its heavy slabs and even stroke rhythm create an authoritative, no-nonsense voice that feels both familiar and dependable.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, highly legible slab-serif voice with a compact footprint and consistent stroke energy. It prioritizes impact and clarity, evoking classic printing and industrial display traditions while remaining straightforward for modern layout use.
In running text the face produces a dark, even color and strong horizontal emphasis from the slab terminals. The lowercase maintains solid readability with simple, un-fussy shapes and clear differentiation between similar forms, making it feel pragmatic rather than ornamental.
