A heavy, blocky slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. The serifs read as squared and slightly bracketed, with sturdy, rectangular terminals and a generally uniform, poster-ready texture across words. Curves are simplified and somewhat squared off, and several joins show small cut-ins that resemble subtle ink-trap notches, helping keep shapes open at this weight. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and architectural, while the lowercase maintains a large x-height and short extenders for dense, even color in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where maximum impact is needed. It also works well for brand marks and short, punchy copy in sports, industrial, or heritage-themed identities, and for bold numeric systems such as section markers, prices, or wayfinding.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian confidence that leans industrial and vintage. It evokes the feel of old display slabs used for signage and headlines—direct, emphatic, and built to command attention. The weight and compact counters add an athletic, workwear-like toughness rather than elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a sturdy slab-serif voice, combining broad shapes and compact counters for strong visual presence. The slightly bracketed slabs and squared curves suggest a nod to classic, workmanlike display typography while remaining optimized for modern, bold applications.
In the sample text, the dense stroke mass creates a strong horizontal rhythm, and word shapes remain clear thanks to the open apertures and cut-in joins. Numerals match the uppercase in heft and width, reading well for large-scale labeling and numbering. Spacing appears tuned for display, producing a tight, solid line of type with minimal sparkle.
