A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and an even, low-contrast stroke structure. Serifs are thick and rectangular with a crisp, bracketless feel, giving strokes squared shoulders and flat terminals. Curves are generously rounded but controlled, with large interior counters that keep the dense weight readable; joins are tight and purposeful, producing a compact, poster-ready texture. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction with single-storey shapes and chunky details that echo the caps.
Best suited for high-impact display typography such as headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a strong, sturdy voice is needed. It also fits branding systems that want an industrial or heritage feel, and works well for signage or short bursts of text where the heavy weight can carry the message without relying on fine detail.
The font reads as tough and self-assured, with a utilitarian, no-nonsense tone. Its strong slabs and blocky rhythm suggest heritage printing, workwear branding, and signage—more brawn than refinement. Overall it feels bold, friendly in its roundness, yet firmly authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and clarity through simple geometry, thick slabs, and an even stroke economy. It aims for a robust, workmanlike personality that holds up in bold applications and maintains recognizability through wide proportions and large counters.
The figures are similarly stout and wide, matching the letterforms’ squarish footprint and heavy baseline presence. The overall color on the page is very dark and consistent, producing strong impact in headlines while remaining structured and legible at display sizes.
