A heavy, slab-serif display face with broad, squared terminals and mostly bracketed slabs that read as carved and emphatic. Strokes are robust with noticeable but not delicate contrast, and curves are tightened into compact bowls and counters, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. The uppercase forms are wide-shouldered and stable, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike build with short-to-moderate ascenders and firm, rectangular serifs that lock letters into a strong horizontal rhythm. Overall spacing looks tight and weight distribution is concentrated, giving text a dark, cohesive color at headline sizes.
Best suited to high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, covers, and product packaging where strong presence is required. It can also work for signage and short editorial titling, especially when a retro or industrial flavor is desired and the layout provides ample spacing.
The tone is assertive and old-school, evoking vintage advertising, athletic lettering, and utilitarian signage. Its blocky slabs and compact counters convey strength and reliability more than refinement, with a slightly nostalgic, print-era presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum authority and legibility in display contexts, combining slab-serif structure with a compact, print-forward texture. Its proportions and sturdy serifs suggest a goal of evoking classic, no-nonsense typography for attention-grabbing titles.
The face maintains a consistent, punchy silhouette across letters and numerals, with squared joins and restrained detailing that prioritizes impact. In paragraph-like settings it forms a bold, textured rhythm where interior whitespace is limited, so it will feel most comfortable when given generous size and leading.
