A heavy, block-leaning serif design with squared counters, compact apertures, and subtly flared stroke endings that read like sharpened wedges rather than slabs. Curves are restrained and often squared off, giving letters an engineered, machined look; bowls (O, Q, 8, 9) are rounded-rectangle forms with tight interior space. Stems are straight and rigid, with small notches and interior cut-ins on several shapes that add a slightly chiseled, display-oriented texture. Lowercase is tall and sturdy, with simple one-storey a and g, a compact e, and short, utilitarian joins that keep the rhythm dense and punchy.
This font performs best in display settings—posters, large headlines, team or event graphics, and bold brand marks where the dense shapes and flared endings create a strong silhouette. It can also work for short blocks of text in advertising or packaging when used at generous sizes and with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is bold and commanding, blending a vintage poster sensibility with an industrial, workmanlike toughness. It feels assertive and competitive—well suited to messaging that needs impact, grit, and straightforward authority rather than elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, vertical rhythm and a sturdy serifed structure, combining squared geometry and flared terminals to evoke classic poster lettering while staying crisp and modern in reproduction.
The numerals match the squared, compressed geometry of the letters, with tight counters and strong vertical emphasis that keeps figures visually consistent in headlines. The punctuation shown (e.g., apostrophe) follows the same chunky proportions, maintaining an even color in set text at large sizes.
