A heavy, block-forward slab serif with squared shoulders and flat, rectangular serifs that read as firmly attached rather than calligraphic. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing compact interior counters and a dense typographic color. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and Q) are broad and rounded but terminate into crisp, squared joins, giving the design a machined, constructed feel. The lowercase is robust and compact, with sturdy bowls and short, pragmatic-looking details, while numerals match the same solid, rectangular rhythm for an overall uniform texture.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where impact and stability are key, such as posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works for signage and labels that benefit from a sturdy, high-presence serif without relying on fine contrast.
The font projects strength and practicality, with an assertive, no-nonsense tone reminiscent of industrial labeling and vintage display printing. Its squared slabs and dense weight lend it a grounded, dependable voice that can feel both retro and utilitarian depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority through thick strokes, squared slabs, and a compact, unified rhythm, aiming for legibility-by-mass and a confident display voice rather than refinement.
At text sizes, the heavy weight and tight internal spaces create strong presence but reduce delicacy; the design reads best when given room and used where a dense, punchy rhythm is desirable. The combination of rounded bowls and square terminals creates a distinctive “soft-meets-hard” personality.
