A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with square shoulders, flat terminals, and crisp, mostly unbracketed serifs that read as rectangular slabs. Strokes are thick and decisive with noticeable contrast created by deep interior counters and narrow joins, producing a carved, stencil-like darkness at display sizes. The lowercase is robust and compact with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders, while round letters (O/C/G) are squarish with softened corners. Spacing is tight and the rhythm is punchy, with occasional quirky geometry in diagonals and joins (notably in K, M, N, W) that adds a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel without losing consistency.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding that needs maximum punch and immediate legibility. It works well for sports graphics, event promotion, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and bold packaging or label typography where a compact, blocky slab serif can carry a strong visual identity.
The tone is loud, utilitarian, and confident—evoking vintage signage, sports headlines, and industrial labeling. Its dense black presence feels assertive and slightly rugged, with a retro poster sensibility rather than a refined editorial voice.
Designed to deliver high-impact display typography with a square, slabbed structure that reads quickly and holds a strong silhouette. The combination of tight spacing, tall lowercase, and flat-ended details suggests an intention to feel industrial and retro while remaining straightforward and highly readable at large sizes.
Numerals are chunky and engineered for impact, with simple, squared forms and strong silhouettes that hold up well in large-scale applications. The overall texture is dark and compact, and the squared counters and flat serif blocks create a distinctive, no-nonsense footprint in lines of text.
