A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared, flattened terminals and chunky, rectangular serifs. Strokes are mostly straight with subtly faceted (octagonal) corners and small cut-ins that read like mild ink-trap notches on joins and inside corners. Counters are compact and geometric, and the overall rhythm is broad and steady, with sturdy horizontals and pronounced feet on many uppercase forms. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same blunt, engineered construction, favoring simple shapes and strong silhouettes over delicate detail.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, storefront or wayfinding signage, and packaging where a tough, high-contrast silhouette is desirable. It can also work for badges, labels, and logo marks that benefit from a sturdy slab-serif presence.
The tone is forceful and workmanlike, evoking wood type, signage, and utilitarian print where impact matters more than refinement. Its faceted corners and squared serifs give it a rugged, slightly vintage character that feels at home in bold, declarative messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and clear, assertive letterforms with a crafted, wood-type-inspired construction. Its squared serifs and faceted corners prioritize durability and impact, aiming for a bold, dependable voice in large-scale typography.
In text, the dense color and tight internal spaces create a strong typographic “stamp” effect, especially in all caps. The distinctive corner faceting and notch-like cut-ins become a defining texture at display sizes, while smaller sizes may look more solid and compact due to the small counters.
