A compact, block-built slab serif with squared terminals and unbracketed serifs that meet the stems cleanly. The design is highly vertical with tight proportions, broad flat top and bottom strokes, and mostly squared curves on bowls and counters, giving letters a slightly chamfered, rectangular feel. Strokes are consistently heavy with little modulation, and the interior spaces are kept open enough to stay readable at display sizes. The lowercase maintains strong structure with short ascenders/descenders relative to the large x-height, producing a dense, efficient texture in text.
Best suited to display contexts where impact and space efficiency matter: headlines, posters, signage, and packaging. It also fits athletic or collegiate-style applications and strong label typography, where condensed slabs can deliver a clear, rugged voice.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its condensed, squared construction evokes athletic numbering, workwear labels, and old poster vernacular, reading as bold, direct, and slightly retro without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact width while keeping letterforms straightforward and durable. The squared serifs and rectangular curves prioritize a strong silhouette and consistent rhythm, aiming for assertive display typography that feels practical and robust.
The numerals are particularly blocky and uniform, matching the letterforms’ squared geometry. Round characters (like O/C/G) lean toward rounded-rectangle shapes, and the serif treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, stamp-like rhythm.
