A heavy, squarish serif with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are mostly monolinear with gently rounded corners and frequent internal notches that read like ink traps, especially where curves meet stems and at tight joins. Serifs are short and integrated, often formed as angular fins or beveled terminals rather than bracketed transitions, giving the face a machined, modular feel. Curves (C, O, S, e) are squared-off and slightly condensed internally, while diagonals (V, W, Y) are sharp and stable; overall spacing is generous but the black shapes dominate, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to display typography where mass and structure are assets: headlines, logos, team or esports identities, product marks, packaging, and attention-grabbing poster work. It also fits interface-style graphics and titling where a technical, high-impact texture is desired.
The tone is bold and engineered—more utilitarian than literary—evoking contemporary sports branding, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its crisp edges, squared bowls, and cut-in details create an energetic, technical voice that feels modern and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, industrial serif voice by combining conventional serif structure with squared curves, integrated wedge-like terminals, and ink-trap-style cuts. The goal seems to be strong legibility at large sizes while projecting speed, machinery, and modernity.
The numerals and lowercase maintain the same squared curvature and notched detailing, helping the family feel consistent across mixed-case settings. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with a strong baseline presence and distinctive, angular terminals that keep word shapes punchy at display sizes.
