A sturdy slab serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and flat, squared terminals. Strokes are assertive and mostly even in color, with crisp joins and minimal rounding, producing a blocky, poster-like texture. Counters are relatively tight and the fit feels compact, especially in the lowercase, while capitals stay broad and stable. Overall rhythm is dense and emphatic, with strong baseline presence and clear vertical stress.
Best suited for headlines, short copy, and statement typography where strong structure and a dense color are desirable. It works well on posters, packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks that benefit from an industrial or vintage-utility voice, and it can also serve as an attention-grabbing typographic accent in editorial layouts.
The tone is no-nonsense and workmanlike, leaning industrial and slightly retro. Its heavy slabs and compact spacing convey toughness and confidence, giving text a stamped or headline-driven character rather than a delicate, literary feel.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a straightforward slab-serif construction: heavy serifs, compact rhythm, and squared details that hold up well in bold display settings. The emphasis seems to be on clarity and authority rather than softness or high delicacy.
The design maintains a consistent, squared-off detailing across letters and numerals, helping it read cleanly at display sizes. In paragraphs, the strong serifs create pronounced horizontal accents, which can make blocks of text feel weighty and authoritative.
