A heavy slab serif with broad, square-shouldered forms and sturdy, mostly uniform stroke weight. Serifs are prominent and block-like with subtle bracketing in places, producing strong vertical emphasis and a compact rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while joins and terminals keep a squared, cut-at-the-end feeling; the lowercase shows a single-storey “g” and sturdy, straightforward construction.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where strong presence is needed. It also works well for signage-style applications and short bursts of text like pull quotes or section headers, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a vintage, press-and-poster sensibility. Its sturdy slabs and compact proportions suggest a no-nonsense voice that feels traditional and slightly industrial rather than delicate or editorial.
Likely designed to deliver a strong slab-serif voice with high impact and clear, squared construction, balancing traditional serif cues with a more utilitarian, poster-ready robustness.
The numerals and capitals read particularly solid and sign-like, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, blocky texture suited to short lines. The heavy serifs and dense color can become dominant in extended settings, especially at smaller sizes, but it holds up well when given space and size.
