A sturdy slab-serif with squared, flat-ended serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms have broad proportions and a steady, even rhythm, with minimal modulation and clean, straight-sided stems. Serifs read as short, block-like terminals rather than tapered or calligraphic forms, giving the design a crisp, machined texture. Counters are open and simple, and the overall build feels robust and geometric without becoming rigidly monoline.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a firm, grounded voice is needed. It also works effectively for editorial layouts and branding applications that want a dependable, utilitarian slab-serif presence, including signage and packaging where clarity and impact matter.
The tone is practical and assertive, with an industrial, workmanlike character. Its blocky slabs and steady color create a straightforward, editorial feel that can lean slightly retro—evoking utilitarian signage and typewriter-adjacent sturdiness without overt ornament.
The design appears aimed at delivering a robust slab-serif voice with clean, squared detailing and dependable legibility. Its emphasis on blunt terminals, even stroke weight, and broad proportions suggests an intention to balance impact with straightforward readability across display and text use.
At display sizes the square serifs and blunt terminals become a defining texture, producing a strong horizontal emphasis. In paragraph setting, the consistent stroke weight and clear silhouettes keep the color even, while the wide stance helps maintain readability and presence.
