A heavy, squared serif design with broad, flat terminals and pronounced slab serifs that create a strong rectangular rhythm. Strokes are generally even and weighty, with tight internal counters that read as compact and forceful at larger sizes. Curves (as in C, O, S) are rounded but constrained by a blocky skeleton, and joins stay firm and geometric rather than calligraphic. The lowercase maintains a robust presence with wide stems, sturdy shoulders, and a simple, utilitarian construction that keeps texture dense and consistent across lines.
Best suited for display applications where weight and structure are an advantage—headlines, posters, branding marks, labels, and bold signage. It can work for short bursts of text when you want a dense, assertive texture, but its tight counters and heavy mass are most comfortable at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, leaning toward an industrial and slightly retro voice. Its strong slabs and compact counters project authority and durability, giving text a poster-like punch and a workmanlike confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a straightforward slab-serif voice, emphasizing solidity, legibility at display sizes, and a consistent, block-built rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The sample text shows a dark, tightly packed color on the page with emphatic vertical stress and minimal delicacy. Numerals are equally stout and squared-off, matching the letterforms and reinforcing a headline-forward, impact-oriented feel.
