A dense, heavy slab serif with squarish proportions, broad shoulders, and a compact rhythm. Stems and serifs are thick and rectangular with subtle bracketing, producing a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. Counters are tight and mostly squared-off, with small apertures and occasional notch-like cut-ins that read as ink-trap accents at joins and corners. Curves are minimal and controlled (notably in C, G, O, S), leaning toward rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles; terminals are blunt and flat, keeping the texture dark and even.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where a dark, impactful slab can carry the layout. It fits sports branding, apparel marks, packaging, and signage that benefits from a sturdy, industrial voice and strong edge definition. For longer reading, it will generally perform better at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is tough and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. It evokes athletic lettering, workwear branding, and vintage print where impact and solidity matter more than refinement. The overall feel is energetic and assertive without becoming decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual weight and a stable, workmanlike slab-serif presence, with small corner notches to preserve clarity in heavy joins. It prioritizes boldness, uniform texture, and a compact footprint for emphatic display typography.
At display sizes it creates strong typographic color and clear word shapes, while the compact counters and tight interior spaces can make smaller text feel dense. The numerals match the blocky construction and heavy serifs, supporting bold, attention-grabbing data or numbering.
