A sturdy slab-serif with squared, flat-ended terminals and bold, block-like serifs that read clearly at a distance. Strokes are largely even in weight, with crisp corners and minimal modulation, giving the shapes a machined, poster-like solidity. Counters tend toward squared or rounded-rectangle forms, and spacing feels generous and open, helping keep the texture readable in longer lines. The design favors strong horizontals and verticals, with slightly softened curves in bowls and shoulders to prevent the forms from looking overly rigid.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where strong structure and immediate legibility are priorities. It can also work for short passages, pull quotes, and UI labels when a robust, utilitarian voice is desired, though its heavy slab detailing will remain visually prominent.
The tone is confident and no-nonsense, with an industrial, workmanlike feel that suggests signage, equipment labeling, and classic American display typography. Its blocky construction and emphatic slabs project stability and authority, while the clean, squared geometry adds a subtle retro flavor.
The font appears designed to deliver a tough, dependable reading voice with clear, squared construction and emphatic slab terminals—optimized for impactful display use and practical communication where a strong, industrial impression is beneficial.
Capitals appear especially assertive thanks to wide slab terminals, while the lowercase maintains clarity through simple, sturdy forms and distinct joins. Numerals are equally bold and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ squared logic and maintaining consistent presence in text and headings.
