A heavy, block-driven slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are predominantly straight and orthogonal with rounded outer corners, and many joins show deliberate notches and small cut-ins that read like ink traps or stencil-like reliefs. Serifs are thick and integrated into the stems, giving the letters a carved, industrial footprint. Curved forms (O, C, G, S) are wide and flattened, with narrow apertures and horizontal interior shaping that adds a distinctive rhythm across words.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its heavy slabs and distinctive notches can be appreciated—posters, bold headlines, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short, emphatic copy such as labels, signage, or promotional graphics where impact is prioritized over long-form readability.
The overall tone is bold and punchy with a playful, retro edge. The notched joints and chunky slabs add a rugged, workwear character that feels energetic rather than refined, lending a slightly novelty, display-first personality.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact and memorability through wide proportions, integrated slab serifs, and characteristic notched joins. The consistent, carved-looking detailing suggests an intention to evoke vintage display typography while maintaining a sturdy, contemporary presence.
The design leans on strong horizontals and deep terminals, creating prominent texture in lines of text. Tight counters and frequent interior cut-ins can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, but they also provide a recognizable signature at display scales.
