A heavy slab-serif with compact, blocky letterforms and strong vertical stress. Serifs are prominent and mostly squared with soft bracketing, giving terminals a sturdy, anchored feel rather than a crisp, razor-cut finish. Curves are broad and slightly flattened at transitions, and counters are relatively tight, producing a dense, poster-friendly texture. The lowercase shows a sturdy, workmanlike construction with short extenders and rounded joins, while figures are thick, high-impact, and built to hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and large-scale applications where weight and presence are desirable—posters, packaging, signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work for subheads or callouts in editorial layouts when you want a sturdy slab texture, but it will feel heavy for long body text at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with a vintage, industrial flavor reminiscent of stamped signage and classic Western or collegiate-era advertising. Its weight and firm slab endings create an assertive voice that reads as dependable, bold, and straightforward rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended as a practical, high-impact slab serif that emphasizes firmness and legibility under bold settings. Its softened bracketing and compact shapes suggest a balance between rugged display character and dependable, everyday usability in emphatic typographic roles.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the heavy shapes from clogging, but the dark mass and tight counters create a strongly “inked” rhythm that will dominate a layout. The design keeps a consistent, uniform stroke feel across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, prioritizing solidity and impact.
