A heavy, angular display serif with squared counters and brisk chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are broadly uniform and end in small wedge-like serifs and notched terminals that create a faceted, cut-metal feel. The letters lean on rectangular geometry with tight interior apertures, producing a compact, blocky rhythm; curves are minimized and where present are flattened into segmented forms. Numerals follow the same rigid construction, with boxy bowls and crisp, clipped joins that keep the set visually consistent at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and logo-style wordmarks where its angular detailing can read clearly. It also works well for packaging or label typography that benefits from a sturdy, industrial presence, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with an industrial, slightly gothic flavor. Its sharp cuts and blocky silhouettes suggest strength and seriousness, evoking vintage poster and headline typography with a mechanical edge.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, chiseled serif vocabulary—prioritizing strong shapes, sharp terminals, and a vintage-industrial personality for display typography rather than extended reading.
The design emphasizes silhouette clarity over open counters, so dense text can appear dark and tightly packed. Distinctive corner chamfers and wedge serifs are key identifying features that give the face its decorative character even without contrast-driven detail.
