A heavy, square-built slab serif with uniform, rectilinear construction and flat-ended strokes. Serifs are broad and largely unbracketed, creating a strong, stamped silhouette. Counters tend toward boxy shapes, curves are minimized, and joints resolve into sharp right angles, giving the design a modular feel. Proportions are compact with substantial stems and consistent stroke weight, producing strong color in text while maintaining clear, mechanical spacing and rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display copy where a strong, high-impact texture is desired. It works well for signage, labels, packaging, and branding marks that benefit from a rugged, squared slab voice. In long passages, the dense color and boxy counters can feel heavy, so generous size and spacing help maintain readability.
The face conveys a tough, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly retro-industrial and frontier poster flavor. Its squared slabs and hard corners suggest utilitarian signage, print ephemera, and bold headlines, leaning more rugged than refined.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through squared slab serifs and a highly geometric, print-like silhouette. The overall intention appears to be a robust display serif that evokes vintage signage and industrial solidity while staying straightforward and legible at large sizes.
Uppercase forms read especially architectural, with squared bowls and tight apertures, while lowercase keeps the same rigid geometry for a cohesive system. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with angular turns and solid presence that suits display settings.
