A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared-off terminals and largely unmodulated strokes. The letters show strong vertical stress, broad proportions, and a steady, even rhythm with minimal contrast. Serifs read as sturdy rectangular slabs rather than finely tapered details, and corners are crisp with a slightly mechanical geometry. Lowercase forms are compact and robust, with round counters kept relatively tight; figures are sturdy and straightforward, matching the same blunt, high-ink texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and display copy where its heavy slabs and broad forms can carry impact. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, straightforward voice, and can work for short editorial callouts when a strong typographic presence is desired.
The overall tone is confident and utilitarian, leaning toward an editorial or institutional voice with a touch of vintage printing and industrial signage. Its dense color and blunt detailing feel no-nonsense and workmanlike, projecting reliability more than elegance.
The font appears designed to deliver a forceful, legible slab-serif look with blunt terminals and a consistent, print-ready texture—prioritizing impact, clarity, and a grounded, utilitarian character.
At text sizes it builds a strong typographic “color” and clear word shapes, while at larger sizes the squared serifs and blocky joins become a defining graphic feature. The design maintains consistent weight across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, supporting cohesive mixed-case setting.
