A heavy, expanded slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and pronounced slab feet and caps. The design mixes broad, rounded bowls with flat horizontal cuts, producing a distinctive rhythm where curved letters (O, C, G) feel wide and steady while joins and terminals stay sharp and rectangular. Contrast is expressed through visibly thinned connectors and counters set against very weighty stems and slabs, creating a punchy, poster-like texture. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, workmanlike construction with compact apertures and sturdy, squared-off endings, and the numerals follow the same wide, hard-edged silhouette.
Best suited to large-scale settings where its heavy slabs and broad proportions can project clearly—posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, bold editorial headlines, and packaging that needs a rugged, retro punch. It can also work for short branding lockups and titling where a strong, industrial voice is desired.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking utilitarian signage and mid-century display typography. Its wide stance and emphatic slabs read as confident and slightly theatrical, with a vintage, industrial flavor that feels at home on big, attention-seeking headlines.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a wide, sturdy silhouette and emphatic slab terminals, balancing rounded bowls with hard, rectangular endings for a confident display presence. The noticeable contrast and sharp cuts suggest an intention to feel both vintage and mechanical, optimized for attention and authority rather than quiet text reading.
Counters are relatively tight in several letters, which increases darkness and impact, especially in dense lines. The overall spacing and broad proportions create strong horizontal momentum, while the sharp slab terminals add a mechanical, stamped quality to the texture.
