A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and mostly flat, square-ended terminals. Strokes are thick and even, creating a low-contrast, poster-like color on the page, while counters stay relatively open for readability. The forms lean toward compact, squared geometry with firm horizontals and a stable baseline; rounded letters (like O and C) remain broad and controlled rather than calligraphic. Spacing reads straightforward and workmanlike, supporting dense text without appearing delicate.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong typographic presence is needed. It can also work well for packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, legible slab-serif voice, and for editorial display settings that want a classic, ink-on-paper weight.
The overall tone is assertive and practical, with a no-nonsense, industrial feel. Its chunky slabs and emphatic rhythm evoke vintage print—newspapers, packaging, and signage—while still reading as contemporary and direct.
Likely designed to provide a bold, dependable slab-serif for display use, emphasizing firmness, clarity, and a classic print sensibility. The squared serifs and even stroke weight prioritize impact and consistency over finesse.
In the sample text, the bold serifs create strong word shapes and a clear vertical rhythm, especially in all-caps. Numerals appear similarly robust and squared in character, matching the letterforms and maintaining a consistent, utilitarian texture.
