A heavy slab-serif with square, flat-ended terminals and a compact, firmly built silhouette. Strokes are thick and largely even, with minimal modulation, producing a dense color and strong vertical rhythm. Serifs are broad and rectangular with little to no bracketing, and joins show subtle notches that read like ink-trap-inspired cut-ins in places (notably in tight interior corners). The lowercase is compact with sturdy stems and round counters that stay open despite the weight; numerals are wide and assertive, matching the overall mass and geometry.
This face is well suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and display typography where impact and presence are desired. It also fits packaging and brand marks that want a sturdy, heritage-leaning voice, and it can work for signage or labels where strong, simple letterforms need to hold up at distance.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking industrial signage, classic newspaper headlines, and workwear branding. Its square serifs and dense texture feel dependable and slightly retro, with a pragmatic, American editorial flavor rather than delicate refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a solid slab-serif structure—prioritizing strength, clarity, and a distinctive square-terminal character. Its consistent weight and robust proportions suggest a focus on dependable display performance and a timeless, utilitarian personality.
At text sizes the heavy weight creates a strong, dark typographic color, so spacing and counters play a key role in maintaining clarity; the design’s squared terminals and crisp corners keep forms legible and punchy in short bursts. The sample text suggests it performs best when allowed breathing room, where its confident shapes read as intentional rather than crowded.
