A heavy slab-serif with compact proportions and strongly weighted verticals. The serifs are broad and mostly squared, with subtle bracketing that softens some joins and prevents the shapes from feeling overly mechanical. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is dense, giving letters a solid, anchored presence. Uppercase forms read as traditional and structured, while the lowercase maintains clear, utilitarian shapes with stout terminals and a consistent, workmanlike texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic text where weight and presence matter. It also fits signage and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif feel, as well as sports or industrial-themed branding where a dense, assertive texture is desirable.
The tone is bold and dependable, with a classic, no-nonsense attitude. It evokes heritage signage and print traditions—practical, grounded, and slightly rugged rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended as a strong, versatile slab for attention-grabbing typography—prioritizing solidity, legibility of forms, and a classic serif structure over delicacy or airy text color.
The face favors strong silhouettes over openness, which boosts impact at display sizes but can make long passages feel dark and compact. Numerals match the lettering’s blocky weight and straightforward construction, supporting a cohesive, emphatic typographic voice.
