A heavy, blocky slab serif with broad, square-ended serifs and minimal stroke modulation. The letterforms are built on sturdy verticals and generous bowls, with compact counters and a slightly condensed feel in the overall rhythm. Corners and joins read crisp and assertive, while the lowercase maintains clear, straightforward construction with simple terminals and a consistent, even color across words.
Best suited for headlines and display typography where strong presence and clear structure are needed—posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for short, emphatic text runs or pull quotes, especially where a sturdy, vintage-leaning slab serif texture is desired.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with a classic, poster-ready solidity that feels both practical and nostalgic. Its weight and square serifs give it an industrial, no-nonsense voice, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with straightforward, highly legible shapes, combining a traditional slab-serif foundation with crisp, squared finishing for strong reproduction in print and on screen.
In text, the dense interior spaces and strong serifs create a prominent texture that favors display sizes and short lines. Numerals share the same robust, block-first logic, supporting a cohesive headline palette.
