A heavy, block-forward slab serif with largely uniform stroke weight and crisp, square-ended terminals. Serifs are thick and unbracketed, creating a strong rectangular footprint and a compact, poster-like color on the page. Curves are controlled and somewhat squared-off, with generous interior counters for the weight. Uppercase forms feel stable and upright with wide shoulders and flat tops, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike structure and prominent slab feet; punctuation and figures match the same blunt, geometric finishing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where a firm, attention-grabbing voice is needed. It also fits packaging, labeling, and signage that benefits from sturdy letterforms and strong contrast against backgrounds, and can anchor logo wordmarks with a rugged, heritage feel.
The tone is tough and no-nonsense, leaning toward industrial and athletic vernacular. Its bold slabs and squared contours suggest reliability and impact rather than delicacy, with a distinctly retro, sign-paint and letterpress-adjacent confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a pragmatic, rectangular slab-serif language—prioritizing solidity, clarity, and a bold, vintage-leaning presence for display typography.
The rhythm is dense and even, with strong horizontal emphasis from the slab terminals and a consistent, ink-trap-free silhouette. Numerals and caps read especially assertively, producing a solid typographic texture at headline sizes while remaining clear in short text bursts.
