A heavy slab serif with blocky proportions and rounded, bracketed terminals that soften the strong weight. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even color and a sturdy rhythm in text. Serifs are broad and square-shouldered, and counters are relatively tight, reinforcing a compact, poster-ready feel. The lowercase shows a utilitarian structure with robust joins and short extenders, while figures follow the same stout, no-nonsense construction.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and packaging where a strong, stable voice is needed. It also performs well for signage and editorial callouts thanks to its sturdy serifs and high visual presence, especially in short to medium text settings.
The overall tone is bold and dependable with a slightly nostalgic, workwear character. Its soft-edged slabs keep it approachable rather than severe, giving it a friendly confidence that reads as practical and enduring.
The design appears intended as a dependable slab serif for impactful communication—combining firm, industrial structure with subtly rounded detailing to maintain warmth and readability in bold typographic applications.
In the sample text, the weight and dense spacing create strong impact at display sizes, while the rounded joins help prevent the forms from feeling overly harsh. The numerals and capitals share a consistent, uniform presence, supporting cohesive headlines and short blocks of copy.
