A heavy, slab-serif display face built from compact, squared forms with rounded corners and deep, rectangular counters. Serifs read as bold blocks with slight bracketing, and terminals frequently finish in straight-cut planes that reinforce a stamped, machined feel. The overall rhythm is tight and emphatic, with strong verticals, simplified curves, and a consistent, high-impact silhouette across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to large sizes where its chunky slabs and squared counters can read clearly—headlines, posters, storefront-style signage, packaging labels, and bold branding. It can work for short bursts of text or pull quotes, but the dense texture makes it less ideal for extended reading at small sizes.
The tone is assertive and punchy, evoking vintage signage and rugged, workmanlike printing. Its block serifs and compact shaping create a confident, no-nonsense voice that can feel both nostalgic and utilitarian depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a robust slab-serif structure and simplified geometry, balancing a vintage sign-painter/woodtype spirit with a clean, controlled construction for modern display use.
Lowercase follows the same squared, slabbed logic as the capitals, keeping text color dense and uniform in the sample setting. Numerals are similarly sturdy and geometric, matching the heavy serif treatment and maintaining a consistent visual weight in mixed alphanumeric lines.
