A sturdy slab-serif with broad, squared-off serifs and a compact, muscular build. Strokes are mostly straight with mildly tapered joins and subtle bracketed transitions, giving the serifs a carved, chiseled feel rather than a perfectly geometric finish. Curves are firm and slightly squared in places, and counters stay open for clarity, while round letters show a restrained, controlled bowl shape. Overall rhythm is punchy and dense, with noticeable variation in letter widths that keeps words lively without becoming irregular.
Well-suited for headlines and short-to-medium text where a strong typographic voice is needed, such as posters, packaging, and labels. It can also work in editorial settings for section heads, pull quotes, and display typography where a rugged slab-serif character adds emphasis and personality.
The face projects a tough, no-nonsense tone with a hint of vintage signage and utilitarian print. Its chunky slabs and squared terminals feel confident and grounded, suggesting durability and directness rather than delicacy or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, high-impact slab-serif look with practical readability and a slightly vintage, print-driven flavor. Its squared terminals, robust serifs, and compact proportions aim to communicate strength and clarity across display and supporting text roles.
Lowercase forms lean toward compact, readable structures, with sturdy verticals and short, decisive serifs that hold together well in continuous text. Numerals follow the same blocky, robust logic, matching the alphabet’s weight and presence for cohesive mixed-setting.
