A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared proportions and consistent, low-contrast strokes. Many joins and terminals are cut with chamfered, near-octagonal corners, giving letters a faceted, machined look rather than smooth curves. Serifs are sturdy and rectangular, with flat endings and minimal bracketing; counters tend to be tight and geometric. The overall rhythm is compact and sturdy, with crisp edges and clear, high-impact silhouettes across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display typography where its blocky slabs and chamfered geometry can carry visual authority. It works well for sports branding, bold labels and packaging, venue or wayfinding-style signage, and editorial pull quotes where a rugged, industrial voice is desired.
The tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking classic workwear, varsity lettering, and stamped/industrial signage. Its angular cuts and dense color make it feel assertive and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro, Americana-leaning flavor.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a geometric slab structure and distinctive chamfered detailing, blending traditional slab-serif sturdiness with a more engineered, faceted silhouette for branding-forward display use.
The faceted corner treatment is a defining motif that repeats across curves and diagonals, producing a consistent “cut metal” aesthetic. Numerals and capitals read especially strongly at display sizes, while the dense internal spaces suggest it will prefer moderate-to-large settings for best clarity.
