A heavy, slab-serif design with broad, squared terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that read as chunky wedges rather than hairline feet. Stems are thick and steady with only modest stroke modulation, creating a dense, poster-ready color. Counters are relatively tight (notably in B, P, R, and e), while joins and inside corners show subtle notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen the rhythm at display sizes. The lowercase is compact with sturdy shoulders and arches (m, n, h), and the numerals are wide and emphatic, with a clear, closed 0 and a strong, footed 1.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a dense, emphatic texture is desired, but its heavy weight and tight counters will be most comfortable at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, mixing a vintage print feel with an assertive, no-nonsense voice. Its chunky serifs and compact spacing give it an industrial confidence that feels at home in heritage branding and headline settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif attitude—prioritizing solidity, legibility at display sizes, and a compact, punchy texture reminiscent of traditional print and sign lettering.
The typeface maintains a consistent, squared-off geometry across caps, lowercase, and figures, with pronounced horizontals and firm baselines. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates an upright, stable stance with a slightly compressed, tightly set texture in text blocks.
