A compact slab-serif with heavy, block-like serifs and square-ended terminals throughout. Strokes are thick and even, producing a dense color and strong vertical emphasis, while curves are rounded but kept tight and controlled. Counters are relatively small, apertures are restrained, and the overall rhythm feels sturdy and deliberate. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with short extenders and a firm baseline presence; figures match the weight and maintain the same squared, no-nonsense construction.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short blocks where a strong, compact slab-serif presence is needed. It can work well for packaging and labels, event or venue signage, and editorial layouts that want a sturdy, traditional-meets-industrial flavor.
The tone is firm and utilitarian, with an editorial authority that leans classic and print-oriented. Its compact, high-impact shapes suggest a dependable, no-frills voice suited to assertive messaging rather than delicate nuance.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact slab-serif voice with a pragmatic, print-forward feel. The emphasis on square serifs, tight curves, and dense color suggests an intention to stay legible and authoritative while occupying minimal horizontal space.
At text sizes the dark typographic color and tight interior spaces read as emphatic, while at display sizes the squared serifs and compact curves become a defining stylistic feature. The consistent, straight-sided construction helps maintain clarity in blocky headlines and short lines.
