A heavy, block-built slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a strongly rectilinear construction. Strokes keep a consistent weight and corners are mostly hard and geometric, with occasional notched cuts and ink-trap-like square recesses that open counters and joins. The letterforms sit on a rigid grid, producing even rhythm and a firm baseline; apertures are often narrow and counters tend toward squared rectangles (notably in O, D, and 0). Overall spacing and proportions emphasize stability and legibility at medium-to-large sizes, with distinctive, engineered details in several glyphs.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, product marks, and bold packaging where its sturdy slabs and geometric texture can read clearly. It also fits signage and labels that benefit from an industrial, retro presence and consistent, grid-like rhythm.
The tone is rugged and workmanlike, evoking industrial labeling, western/railroad-inspired display type, and hardware-era signage. Its blunt slabs and machined notches give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as vintage yet practical.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, high-impact slab serif with a disciplined, modular structure and distinctive notched detailing. The result prioritizes strong silhouettes, consistent texture, and a utilitarian, vintage-leaning personality for attention-grabbing typography.
The most recognizable character comes from the squared counters, the boxy shoulder and arm shapes, and the recurring interior cutouts that prevent dark spots in dense letterforms. Numerals share the same rectilinear logic, and the overall texture stays uniformly dark with crisp, high-impact silhouettes.
