A heavy slab-serif design with blocky, rectangular serifs and substantial, compact joins. Curves are broadly rounded (notably in C, O, G, and the bowls of b/d/p/q), while terminals and serifs stay squared and sturdy, producing a punchy, sign-ready silhouette. Proportions lean expansive with generous width and strong verticals; counters are moderate-to-tight, and the overall texture is dense and solid in paragraph settings. The lowercase shows straightforward construction with a single-storey a and g, reinforcing a simplified, robust look.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks where a bold slab voice is desired. It also works well for sports, outdoor, and workwear-inspired branding, as well as editorial section headers that need clear hierarchy. For longer text blocks it will feel heavy and dark, so it’s most effective in display roles or short statements.
This typeface projects a loud, confident tone with a distinctly American, poster-era energy. Its heavy presence and squared slabs feel practical and no-nonsense, while the rounded internal spaces keep it approachable rather than severe. Overall it reads as bold, assertive, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended for high-impact display use where weight and slab serifs can carry across distance and busy layouts. It prioritizes a strong, stable silhouette and simplified letterforms that hold up at large sizes and in short bursts of text such as slogans or titles.
The numerals are hefty and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ blocky rhythm and giving figures a strong, readable presence. Overall spacing and stroke mass create a compact, high-ink texture that emphasizes impact over delicacy.
