A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, low-contrast strokes and squared, flat-ended terminals. The serifs are thick and mostly unbracketed, giving the letters a compact, blocky silhouette with strong horizontal emphasis. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while joins and inside corners show slight notches that read like subtle ink-trap behavior in places. Lowercase forms are straightforward and workmanlike, with a single-storey “a” and “g,” a short crossbar on “t,” and a utilitarian, monoline feel throughout.
This font is well suited to display typography where solidity and impact matter: headlines, posters, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It also works effectively for editorial decks and pull quotes, where its slab structure can provide hierarchy and a grounded voice.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, with an industrial, print-forward personality. It suggests vintage utility—like labels, headlines, and robust signage—while still feeling approachable due to its rounded corners and generous interior space.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable slab-serif voice optimized for high-impact reading at larger sizes, balancing strong rectangular structure with enough openness to remain readable in short passages.
Capitals are wide and steady with strong slab presence, and punctuation in the sample text holds up well at large sizes. Numerals are bold and legible, built from the same squared geometry, making the font feel consistent across display settings.
