A heavy slab serif with dense, block-like construction and broad, squarish counters. The serifs are thick and integrated, with mostly flat terminals and minimal curvature, giving the letters a solid, machined feel. Proportions favor strong horizontals and verticals, with rounded outer corners on several forms (notably C, G, O, and the bowls) to keep the texture from becoming overly rigid. Lowercase forms are compact with a large x-height and short extenders, producing an even, dark typographic color in text. Numerals match the headline weight and share the same blunt, squared details, reading clearly at large sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, storefront and wayfinding signage, and bold packaging labels. It can also work for sports or team-style branding where a sturdy slab voice is desired, while longer paragraphs benefit from generous size and comfortable leading due to the dense weight.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a classic poster and signage energy. It feels utilitarian and assertive, suggesting strength and reliability more than delicacy or refinement. The thick slabs and tight internal space give it a slightly vintage, workwear character that can read as both industrial and retro.
The design appears intended as a practical, attention-grabbing slab serif that holds up in bold display contexts while remaining structurally conventional. Its emphasis on thick slabs, compact counters, and a steady rhythm suggests a goal of strong legibility and visual authority in everyday branding and promotional use.
In the sample text, the font produces a very strong, continuous black mass, especially in multi-line settings, with counters and apertures providing the primary rhythm. The heaviest strokes and squared joins emphasize impact over nuance, making spacing and line breaks important to preserve readability at smaller sizes.
