A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are mostly uniform but show subtle contrast where horizontals and joins compress, and the forms lean on squared geometry with softened, rounded corners. Serifs read as thick rectangular slabs, often integrated into the terminals, giving letters a machined, bracketless feel. Several glyphs feature distinctive internal notches and cut-ins (especially around joins and inside bowls), producing a slightly stencil-like, engineered texture. Numerals and capitals appear particularly wide and stable, with generous top/bottom masses and flattened curves.
Best suited to display applications where impact and presence are priorities: posters, headlines, product branding, packaging, and bold signage. It can work for short bursts of text, but the dense color and tight counters suggest using larger sizes and ample spacing for readability.
The font projects an industrial, no-nonsense tone—confident, mechanical, and a bit retro. Its chunky slabs and squared silhouettes evoke athletic or equipment branding, while the carved-in details add a rugged, utilitarian edge.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch with a structured slab-serif framework, combining broad, athletic proportions with engineered notches that add personality and a rugged, fabricated feel.
The rhythm is dense and dark at text sizes, with strong horizontals and tight apertures that emphasize solidity over delicacy. The cut-in details create a consistent signature across the set and help differentiate similar shapes, but they also add visual noise in longer passages.
