A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared-off terminals and compact counters. The design relies on straight stems, broad shoulders, and minimal stroke modulation, giving it a dense, high-impact texture. Serifs read as thick rectangular slabs that bracket many joins, and curves are tightened into squarish bowls and rounded-rectangle forms. Spacing is fairly tight and the rhythm is emphatically vertical, with a large x-height and short extenders that help the lowercase hold its weight in text settings.
This face is best used at display sizes where its slab structure and dense color can deliver impact—headlines, posters, badges, and logo lockups. It also works well on packaging and labels that aim for a rugged, traditional, or industrial aesthetic, and for sports or team-style graphics where weight and clarity matter.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, mixing a vintage sign-painting feel with a modern, no-nonsense boldness. It suggests practicality and strength—suited to messaging that needs to feel firm, traditional, or workwear-adjacent rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to provide maximum visual punch with simple, squared geometry and robust slab serifs, evoking classic sign lettering and workmanlike typography. Its proportions prioritize bold readability and a strong typographic voice over finesse.
Uppercase forms are especially rigid and geometric, while the lowercase keeps the same squared logic with sturdy shoulders and blunt terminals. Numerals are equally blocky and uniform in color, maintaining strong presence in mixed alphanumeric settings.
