A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared proportions and crisp, chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette on round forms. Strokes are largely monoline, with broad, flat terminals and stout slab serifs that read as integrated parts of the stems rather than delicate appendages. Counters are tight and rectangular, and the overall spacing feels compact, producing dense word shapes and strong vertical rhythm in text. The lowercase follows the same carved, geometric logic as the caps, with sturdy joins and minimal curvature throughout.
Best suited to display sizes in posters, event graphics, sports branding, packaging callouts, and signage where maximum impact is desired. It can also work for short headings or badges in UI or editorial contexts, but longer passages benefit from generous size and spacing to keep counters open and word shapes clear.
The design projects a rugged, no-nonsense tone associated with Western signage, varsity/scoreboard lettering, and bold promotional display work. Its angular cuts and dense color give it a tough, utilitarian personality that feels assertive and attention-seeking.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, highly legible display voice built from simple geometric forms, with chamfered corners and sturdy slabs that reproduce well in print and cut-vinyl style applications. The emphasis appears to be on creating strong silhouettes and a consistent, compact texture for emphatic headlines.
Numerals and capitals share consistent corner chamfers and flat-ended detailing, helping headlines feel uniform and punchy. Because the interior space is tight, the face maintains a dark texture at smaller sizes but becomes most characteristic when given room to show its angular shaping.
