A heavy, blocky slab-serif with compact counters and strongly bracketed, rectangular serifs. Strokes are robust and mostly even, with gentle rounding at joins and terminals that keeps the silhouette from feeling razor-sharp. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders, while capitals are broad and stable, producing a consistent, poster-ready color. Numerals match the same dense, squared-off construction for a cohesive overall texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and branding where a strong, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for packaging and label-style layouts that benefit from a vintage or industrial flavor; for extended body copy, generous size and spacing will help maintain clarity.
The face reads confident and workmanlike, with a distinctly retro, letterpress-leaning presence. Its thick slabs and compact interiors give it a no-nonsense, authoritative tone that can feel both classic and slightly rugged.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and solidity while retaining a classic slab-serif heritage through bracketed serifs and softened joins. It prioritizes bold presence and a stable rhythm for display-driven typography.
Tight apertures and small internal spaces create a dark, even typographic mass, especially in longer text lines. The slab treatment is prominent across the alphabet, and the bracketed transitions add a traditional, warm feel compared to unbracketed geometric slabs.
