A heavy, blocky slab serif with broad, squared letterforms and sturdy bracketed slabs that read clearly at display sizes. Strokes show noticeable but controlled modulation, with thick verticals and slightly lighter joins that create crisp interior counters. The design favors wide, flat terminals, tight apertures, and compact inner spaces, giving the alphabet a dense, poster-ready color. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with strong stems and short, firm serifs; numerals are equally weighty and built for bold emphasis.
Best for headlines, posters, and bold editorial titling where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It also suits branding and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif voice, as well as signage-style applications that need strong presence at a glance.
The overall tone is confident and muscular, suggesting classic print vernacular and industrial signage. Its dense texture and emphatic serifs give it a no-nonsense voice that feels both vintage and authoritative, with a hint of collegiate or woodtype energy in large settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum weight and authority while keeping familiar serif forms and readable structures. Its slab treatment and controlled contrast aim for bold clarity and a classic, print-forward character suited to attention-grabbing typography.
Round letters like O/Q maintain a robust, slightly squared presence, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay thick and stable rather than sharp or delicate. The sample text shows strong line presence and a dark, even typographic color, making it best suited to shorter runs where impact outweighs delicacy.
