A heavy slab-serif design with broad proportions, chunky rectangular serifs, and largely square-ended terminals. Strokes are robust and even, with minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a compact, built-from-blocks feel. Counters are open and generously sized for the weight, and the overall rhythm is steady and emphatic with clear, straightforward construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short editorial blocks where a strong typographic voice is needed. It can also work well for signage and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, high-impact slab-serif look.
The tone is firm and workmanlike, projecting reliability and authority rather than delicacy. Its bold, blocky presence suggests an industrial and editorial sensibility—confident, practical, and a bit old-school in a poster-ready way.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, square-shouldered slab-serif voice with clear structure and strong presence, optimized for legibility and impact in display and branding contexts.
The numerals and capitals read especially strong at display sizes, with crisp slab details that hold their shape. In text, the weight and wide set create a dense, attention-grabbing color that favors impact over subtlety.
