A compact slab serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and predominantly flat stroke endings. The letterforms are built from broad, low-contrast strokes with a strong vertical stress and squared-off joins that keep the silhouettes dense and stable. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the overall proportions feel tight and efficient, with short extenders and a sturdy baseline presence. Numerals and capitals match the same blocky rhythm, producing an even, emphatic texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where a strong, compact slab texture helps typography hold its ground. It can also work for short editorial blocks or pull quotes when you want a dense, authoritative voice, and for signage-style applications that benefit from sturdy, square-ended forms.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with a no-nonsense, slightly vintage editorial feel. Its dense color and squared detailing suggest durability and authority, evoking signage, headlines, and utilitarian print where clarity and impact matter more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice with compact proportions and firm, squared terminals, prioritizing impact and a solid typographic color. It aims for dependable legibility at display sizes while maintaining a consistent, industrial-leaning texture in text.
Serifs remain consistent across the alphabet and read as firm, rectangular slabs rather than tapered or calligraphic details. The lowercase maintains a steady, compact rhythm that can look punchy in paragraphs, while the capitals read especially bold and poster-ready.
