A heavy slab-serif with compact counters, broad proportions, and pronounced bracketed serifs that read as solid “blocks” at the ends of stems. Stroke joins are crisp and largely squared off, while curves stay full and rounded, producing a sturdy, high-ink silhouette. The lowercase is compact and weighty with short apertures and strong terminals, and the numerals match the same dense, punchy rhythm for consistent color in text and display.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and brand marks where maximum impact and immediate legibility are needed. It also fits packaging and signage applications that benefit from a sturdy, heritage-leaning slab-serif presence, and can work for short bursts of text when a dense, emphatic color is desired.
The overall tone is bold and confident, with a distinctly retro, workmanlike flavor. Its chunky slabs and tight counters create a no-nonsense voice that feels grounded, dependable, and attention-grabbing.
Likely designed to deliver strong display presence with a classic slab-serif structure—emphasizing durability, clarity, and a confident rhythm across letters and numbers. The consistent, blocklike terminals suggest an intention to hold up in bold editorial and promotional settings.
The design prioritizes uniform darkness and strong edge definition, making it especially effective when set large. The slab terminals and bracketing give it a traditional, print-forward feel while maintaining a straightforward, contemporary build.
