A heavy, slab-serif design with square, unbracketed serifs and a compact, blocky construction. Strokes are thick and even, with tight apertures and mostly squared terminals that create a robust texture in text. Capitals feel relatively narrow and tall, while the lowercase is compact with sturdy stems and minimal tapering; curves are controlled and slightly squared off rather than fully round. The numerals follow the same sturdy logic, with strong verticals and blunt, rectangular finishing details that keep figures visually consistent with the letters.
Well-suited to display typography where a sturdy, industrial presence is desirable—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and signage. It also works for short text elements such as pull quotes or UI headings when a strong, utilitarian tone is needed, especially with slightly looser letterspacing.
The overall tone is assertive and practical, evoking utilitarian signage and classic workmanlike printing. Its strong slabs and compact rhythm give it a rugged, no-nonsense voice with a subtle vintage, letterpress-adjacent flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through chunky slabs, compact proportions, and an even, forceful stroke structure. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and a solid typographic color that holds up in bold, attention-grabbing applications.
Spacing appears moderately tight in running text, producing a dark, continuous color that reads best when given room to breathe. The slab details remain clear at display sizes, while smaller settings may benefit from increased tracking due to the dense interior spaces and narrow openings.
