A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with compact proportions and pronounced, squared serifs. Strokes are broadly uniform, with rounded inner corners and slightly braced joins that keep counters open in letters like B, R, and a. The lowercase is robust and workmanlike, featuring a single-storey a and g, sturdy verticals, and short, blunt terminals. Numerals follow the same dense, built-up logic, reading clearly at display sizes with strong silhouettes and minimal delicacy.
Best suited to display applications where impact and clarity matter: headlines, editorial openers, posters, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work well for sports or collegiate branding and short, emphatic labels where a strong slab-serif voice is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and dependable, with a vintage, poster-ready solidity. It suggests utilitarian signage and classic print ephemera—assertive without feeling refined or delicate.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum presence with straightforward, readable shapes, combining slab-serif authority with a simplified, blocky construction. The design prioritizes durable letterforms and clear silhouettes for bold typographic statements.
The forms balance squareness with subtle curvature, preventing the texture from becoming overly rigid. Wide slabs and compact apertures create a strong, dark typographic color that benefits from generous spacing and larger sizes.
