A heavy slab-serif with compact proportions, broad vertical stems, and squared, assertive serifs that read as sturdy blocks at text and display sizes. Curves are full and slightly squarish, keeping counters relatively tight while maintaining clarity. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” with simple, robust construction, and the overall rhythm is dense and even. Numerals are thick and stable, with wide, flat joins and minimal stroke modulation, reinforcing a solid, print-forward texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and short blocks of copy where a strong, authoritative presence is desired. It can work well for packaging and branding that leans industrial, heritage, or workwear-inspired, and for large, bold typographic statements in both print and digital contexts.
The font conveys a tough, practical tone with a vintage, utilitarian flavor—more shop sign and headline than delicate editorial. Its weight and squared terminals create a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels dependable and slightly old-school, like stamped lettering or classic poster type.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum solidity and legibility through thick stems, squared slabs, and compact shapes, producing a classic slab-serif feel with a modern, blocky firmness. Its forms prioritize a stable, impactful reading experience and a distinctive, utilitarian character.
The design’s strong horizontals and slabby feet create pronounced baseline stability, while the tight apertures and generous stem weight produce a dark, uniform color in paragraphs. The sample text shows good internal consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures, with a deliberate emphasis on impact over airiness.
