A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and a tall, assertive lowercase presence. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, ending in flat, square terminals and chunky slab serifs that read as brackets-free and engineered. Curves are tightened and squared-off at the joins, producing a sturdy rhythm and crisp corners, while counters remain open enough to keep letters distinct at display sizes. The overall texture is dense and punchy, with short apertures and a strong horizontal emphasis in letters like E, F, and T.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a bold, sturdy voice is needed—posters, signage, labels, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for editorial section headers or pull quotes when you want a dense, authoritative typographic texture.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, evoking vintage signage, sports and campus lettering, and pragmatic editorial headers. Its squared construction and thick slabs give it an industrial, no-nonsense voice that feels dependable rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a squared, slab-serif construction that holds up in large sizes and reproduces cleanly in straightforward printing or display contexts. Its wide stance and strong terminals prioritize visibility and a confident, industrial character over delicate detailing.
Uppercase forms feel especially solid and architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same squared logic in bowls and shoulders, creating a cohesive, uniform color across lines. Numerals match the letters’ weight and geometry, reinforcing a consistent, sign-ready presence.
