A heavy, block-built slab serif with square terminals and thick, rectangular serifs that read strongly at a distance. The stroke weight is consistently dense with minimal modulation, producing a sturdy, even texture in text. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and joins are crisp, giving the letters a machined, poster-ready look. The lowercase follows the same chunky construction, with straightforward bowls and short, firm serifs that keep word shapes bold and compact.
Best suited for headlines, signage, and promotional copy where bold presence and quick legibility matter. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for a sturdy, heritage, or industrial voice, and can work well for sports or team-style graphics that benefit from emphatic slab structure.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, workwear feel that also nods to vintage display typography. Its broad, solid forms suggest reliability and authority, making it feel confident and slightly nostalgic rather than delicate or refined.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a simple, durable slab-serif skeleton—prioritizing strong silhouettes, clear counters, and a consistent dark color for display use while still holding together in short text settings.
The design emphasizes strong horizontals and squared-off details, which creates a steady rhythm line-to-line in paragraphs while remaining distinctly display-forward. Numerals match the same robust, blocky construction and maintain a consistent visual weight alongside capitals and lowercase.
