A heavy slab-serif design with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are sturdy with noticeable but not delicate contrast, pairing thick verticals with slightly lighter joins and bowls. Serifs are square and mostly unbracketed, reading as blunt horizontal and vertical terminals that reinforce a strong, blocky rhythm. Curves are somewhat squared-off, and several joins and notches create an ink-trap-like texture at small interior corners, giving the face a rugged, engineered feel.
Best suited to display settings where impact and presence matter: headlines, poster typography, brand marks, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or signage where a strong, sturdy slab-serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a vintage, press-ready character that suggests posters, headlines, and strong editorial voice. Its wide stance and blunt slabs project confidence and solidity, leaning more industrial and collegiate than refined or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visibility and a firm, authoritative tone through wide proportions, heavy weight, and blunt slab terminals, while maintaining enough contrast and shaping to keep wordforms recognizable at display sizes.
The type’s wide set and heavy slabs produce a dark, even color in text, with distinctive silhouettes in capitals and chunky lowercase forms. Numerals match the same sturdy construction and squared terminals, maintaining consistency across the set.
