A heavy, block-driven slab serif with square-cut terminals and a compact, tightly engineered feel. Strokes stay consistently thick, with short, sturdy serifs that read as rectangular add-ons rather than tapered brackets. Curves are kept broad and simplified—especially in O/C/G—while corners and joins often resolve into crisp, squared steps, giving the letterforms a machined look. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s weight and stance, with single-storey a and g and a sturdy, footed rhythm across the baseline.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where impact and presence are the priority. It also fits well in sports branding, apparel-style graphics, packaging, labels, and bold editorial callouts where a sturdy slab voice helps anchor the design.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, leaning into vintage workwear and sports signage energy. Its dense silhouettes and squared details feel confident and durable, with a slightly nostalgic, industrial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a squared slab serif language that stays legible and consistent under heavy weight. Its simplified curves and rectangular terminals suggest a goal of producing a dependable, sign-ready display face with a retro-industrial flavor.
At text sizes the dark color and compact internal spaces create a strong typographic “stamp” effect, while large sizes emphasize the geometric terminals and slab structure. The numerals match the same blocky construction and hold their weight well alongside capitals.
