A robust slab-serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and subtly bracketed joins that soften the corners. Strokes show clear but not extreme contrast, with thick verticals and slightly lighter horizontals, creating a firm, steady texture. Counters are fairly open and the x-height reads tall, helping lowercase forms stay prominent at display and text sizes. Terminals and serifs are squared and weighty, and the overall rhythm is slightly condensed in feel despite broad letterforms, producing a dense, authoritative color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where strong typographic presence is needed. It works well for editorial display, posters, packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a bold, classic slab-serif voice and a dense, readable texture.
The font conveys a practical, no-nonsense tone with a classic print sensibility. Its strong slabs and blunt details feel dependable and assertive, with a hint of vintage editorial and workwear character rather than delicacy or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly legible, high-impact slab-serif look with a traditional print backbone. Emphasis is placed on strong structure, durable serifs, and a confident page color for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms are especially blocky and emphatic, while the lowercase maintains clarity through generous apertures and simple, sturdy construction. Numerals are thick and stable, designed to hold their shape in high-impact settings and maintain consistent color alongside caps.
