A heavy slab serif with squared, blocky construction and minimal softness in the corners. The serifs are robust and rectangular, often feeling integrated into the stems, producing a compact, poster-like texture. Counters are relatively tight and the joins and terminals favor straight cuts, giving the alphabet a dense, high-impact rhythm. The lowercase has a tall, sturdy presence that keeps lines of text dark and even, while the numerals match the same bold, geometric solidity.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding moments where weight and punch are desirable. It also fits labels, badges, sports or workwear-inspired graphics, and short bursts of editorial display type. For longer passages, it works most comfortably in brief subheads or callouts where its dense color can be used intentionally.
This font projects a strong, no-nonsense attitude with a confident, assertive voice. Its chunky slabs and compact interior spaces give it a rugged, workmanlike energy that reads as practical and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or refined. Overall it feels sturdy, emphatic, and slightly retro-industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and durability in display settings, prioritizing bold silhouette and strong baseline stability. Its slabbed structure and compact forms suggest a goal of maintaining legibility and authority at large sizes while creating a cohesive, high-ink texture.
The overall feel is strongly modular and rectilinear, with broad slabs that reinforce a sturdy, stamped look. In the sample text, the heavy color creates clear emphasis and a compact word shape, especially in all-caps settings.
