A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squarish geometry and flat, right-angled terminals throughout. Serifs read as stout rectangular feet rather than bracketed details, and many joins are cut with sharp interior notches that emphasize a chiseled, machined rhythm. Counters tend to be tight and rectilinear, with squared bowls and truncated curves, giving the alphabet a sturdy, poster-like texture. The figures follow the same boxy logic, with strong horizontals and verticals and minimal rounding, producing dense, high-coverage silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, and bold callouts where strong presence and quick recognition are priorities. It also fits sports/club branding, labels, and packaging fronts that benefit from a rugged, block-serif voice and a dense typographic texture.
The font projects a tough, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly retro-industrial flavor. Its squared slabs and cut-in corners evoke signage, varsity-inspired display lettering, and utilitarian labeling where authority and punch matter more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact using a simplified, squared slab-serif construction. By favoring rectangular forms, sharp notches, and tight counters, it aims to create a confident, industrial display style that holds its shape and authority at large sizes.
Across both uppercase and lowercase, the design maintains a consistent rectangular vocabulary—curves are simplified into faceted turns, and internal corners often appear as crisp, angular bites. The overall color on the page is dark and even, making word shapes feel compact and forceful, especially in all-caps or short headlines.
