A very heavy slab serif with broad, rectangular serifs and mostly squared terminals, softened by subtle rounding in corners and joins. Strokes are thick and compact with only mild modulation, producing dense letterforms and strong color on the page. Counters are relatively tight and the serifs read as firmly attached, with slight bracketing in places that keeps the shapes from feeling purely mechanical. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction, and the figures are wide, bold, and built for impact.
Best suited to display applications where strong typographic presence is needed, such as posters, headlines, packaging, signage, and bold brand marks. It can work for short bursts of text—subheads, pull quotes, and labels—where durability and clarity matter more than long-form reading comfort.
The tone is robust and approachable—confident, a bit vintage, and strongly headline-oriented. Its chunky slabs and compact counters give it a grounded, industrial feel while the softened details keep it from looking harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy slab-serif voice, balancing industrial solidity with small softening moves to maintain warmth and legibility in large, bold settings.
In text settings, the weight creates pronounced texture and emphasis, and the tight interior spaces can begin to close at smaller sizes. The overall rhythm is steady and block-forward, with clear differentiation in the caps that supports attention-grabbing display use.
