A heavy, slab‑serif display face with broad, weighty stems and prominent rectangular serifs that read as slightly bracketed at key joins. Counters are relatively compact, with sturdy, rounded interior shapes that keep letters dense and dark on the page. The lowercase shows a single‑storey “a” and “g,” a robust, compact “e,” and generally short extenders that reinforce an even, blocklike rhythm. Numerals are similarly stout and high-impact, with simple, solid construction and minimal delicacy.
Best suited to large-scale applications where strong impact is needed, such as posters, bold headlines, storefront or wayfinding signage, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, traditional voice. It can also work well for short brand marks or lockups that need a sturdy slab-serif personality.
The overall tone is confident and muscular, evoking traditional poster and sign lettering with a hint of old-time, workwear practicality. Its strong slabs and compact forms feel assertive and dependable, leaning toward a classic, heritage display voice rather than a refined editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif structure—prioritizing bold silhouettes, robust serifs, and a compact, high-contrast texture that reads instantly in display contexts.
In text settings, the dense color and wide slabs create strong horizontal emphasis, making the font feel grounded and architectural. The shape language favors clear silhouettes over fine detail, so it maintains presence even when set tightly, but it is visually intense for extended reading.
