This typeface presents a heavy, blocky slab-serif construction with pronounced, squared serifs and a compact, sturdy rhythm. Strokes show subtle contrast, with thick verticals and slightly lighter joins, and the serifs read as strongly bracketed blocks rather than delicate hairlines. Counters are relatively tight and apertures lean more closed, reinforcing a dense, impactful texture in paragraphs and headlines. The lowercase has a straightforward, sturdy build with a single-storey g and broad, flat terminals; the numerals match the same weighty, sign-like solidity.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where strong texture and emphasis are desired, such as posters, packaging fronts, and branding wordmarks. It can also work in editorial settings for titles, pull quotes, and section headers where a sturdy slab-serif voice supports clear hierarchy.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a practical, workmanlike character that also nods to vintage editorial and poster typography. It feels dependable and no-nonsense, projecting authority and emphasis without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif voice—prioritizing strong silhouettes, stable proportions, and a dense typographic color that reads confidently in display applications.
In the sample text, the dense color and strong serifs create a firm horizontal flow, while rounded letters (like O/C) remain generously weighted to keep the set cohesive. Shapes favor clear silhouettes over openness, which helps the font hold its presence at display sizes.
