A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad, square-ended terminals and thick, low-contrast strokes throughout. Counters are relatively tight and geometry is simplified into sturdy verticals and flat horizontals, giving the letters a compact, carved-from-a-block feel. The serif treatment reads as strong, bracketless slabs that merge cleanly into stems, while joins and corners stay crisp and emphatic for high-impact silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where strong presence is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short UI labels or signage-style messaging where legibility depends on clear, blocky shapes rather than fine detail.
The overall tone is confident and tough, with a utilitarian, workmanlike character that nods to vintage advertising and industrial signage. Its dense black presence feels assertive and slightly rugged, projecting a straightforward, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact with a simplified, square-ended slab construction and dense typographic color. It prioritizes solidity and readability at larger sizes, aiming for a classic, industrial-leaning display voice.
The lowercase maintains the same weight and squareness as the caps, creating a consistent color in text but with a distinctly chunky rhythm. Numerals share the same sturdy build and simplified forms, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel uniform and forceful.
