A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and blunt terminals throughout. The strokes are low-contrast and largely rectilinear, with generous weight and compact interior counters that create a dense, poster-ready color. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are tightened and simplified to match the overall squared rhythm, while joins and corners stay firm and mechanical. The lowercase keeps a sturdy, workmanlike structure with short ascenders/descenders and a consistent, emphatic baseline presence; numerals follow the same solid, squared logic for a uniform set.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and signage where its dense weight and square slabs can carry impact at a distance. It also fits packaging, badges, and logo wordmarks that want a rugged, industrial, or retro utilitarian voice, and can work for short editorial callouts when generous size and spacing preserve clarity.
The overall tone is strong and no-nonsense, evoking industrial signage, letterpress-era display typography, and rugged branding. Its dense silhouette and squared details read as confident and assertive, with a hint of vintage utility rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a sturdy, mechanical rhythm—prioritizing bold presence, simple geometry, and consistent slab terminals for strong recognition in branding and promotional settings.
At text sizes it will appear dark and punchy, with spacing and small counters contributing to a tightly knit texture. The square slabs and flattened terminals give it a distinctly engineered feel, making it especially effective when set with ample tracking or in short bursts of copy.
