A dense, heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are largely uniform, while the slab terminals and bracketed joins create a carved, notched feel at intersections and inside corners. Curves are rounded yet robust, and the serifs read as strong blocks rather than delicate feet, producing a chunky, tightly packed texture in text. Numerals match the weight and width of the letters, with simplified, geometric construction that favors impact over fine detail.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, labels, and logo wordmarks where strong presence is required. It also fits branding systems that want a sturdy, retro-industrial voice, and works well on packaging or apparel graphics where bold slab forms hold up at a distance.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a vintage headline energy reminiscent of classic posters and industrial signage. Its chunky slabs and notched detailing add a slightly rugged, tactile character that feels bold, straightforward, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with sturdy slab serifs and a compact, confident silhouette. Its corner notches and bracketed slabs suggest a deliberate effort to add texture and vintage personality while maintaining a clear, sign-like structure.
At larger sizes the internal notches and corner shaping become a key personality trait, adding rhythm and separation where strokes meet. In continuous text, the heavy weight and tight counters create a dark color, so it visually performs best when given room through size, tracking, or generous line spacing.
