A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, bracketed serifs. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with only mild modulation, producing dense, compact counters and a strong horizontal emphasis. Terminals are squared and slightly softened, and several joins suggest subtle ink-trap notches, helping keep shapes open at bold sizes. The overall rhythm is steady and punchy, with a workmanlike texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where its mass and slab structure can carry across distance. It also works well for branding, packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a tough, durable look. For longer passages, it’s most effective in short bursts—pull quotes, subheads, and callouts—where the dense color reads as intentional emphasis.
The font projects a confident, no-nonsense tone—sturdy, practical, and slightly nostalgic. Its bold slabs and compact interior spaces evoke classic signage, athletic lettering, and industrial printing, giving text a forceful, poster-ready presence.
The design appears intended as a bold, attention-getting slab serif that balances classic print sensibilities with modern, high-impact proportions. It aims to deliver maximum presence and straightforward legibility for display use, especially in contexts that call for strength and solidity.
Numerals are hefty and highly legible, matching the capitals’ squared construction and strong baseline presence. In text settings the weight creates a dark color, making spacing and line breaks feel substantial and assertive.
