A heavy, wide slab-serif design with low-contrast strokes and a strong horizontal emphasis. Serifs are thick and square-cut with mostly unbracketed joins, giving the letterforms a crisp, engineered feel. Counters are generous and open, rounds are broad, and the overall rhythm reads steady and planted, with compact apertures on some letters and pronounced slab terminals on stems and arms. Numerals follow the same sturdy, wide-set construction with simple, high-impact shapes.
Best suited to headlines, short blocks of text, and display settings where a bold, stable silhouette is needed—such as posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, packaging callouts, and brand marks. Its wide set and dense slabs can dominate at smaller sizes, so it performs most comfortably when given space and used for emphasis.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, leaning industrial and retro without feeling delicate. Its broad footprint and emphatic slabs create a friendly, poster-ready presence that feels dependable and no-nonsense, like classic signage and print headlines.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through width, weight, and slabbed terminals, prioritizing solidity and clarity over finesse. The consistent, square-ended detailing suggests an intention toward strong, reproducible forms that hold up well in bold display typography.
The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” reinforcing an approachable, simplified texture, while the uppercase maintains strong, squared structure. The heavy terminals and wide proportions make word shapes feel expansive, with clear separation between stems and counters at display sizes.
