A heavy display serif with broad proportions, compact interior counters, and a distinctly sculpted, flared treatment at stroke endings. The letterforms show squared-off curves and chamfer-like joins that create a crisp, machined silhouette, while the terminals and serifs feel integrated into the strokes rather than appended. Round letters (like O and C) are more rectangular than circular, and the overall rhythm is dense and dark with tight apertures and strong horizontal emphasis. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly robust shapes and stable, signage-like geometry.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where its mass and flared detailing can read clearly. It works well for posters, sports or club-style branding, packaging labels, and signage that benefits from a sturdy, high-impact serif voice.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, mixing vintage poster energy with an industrial, team-identity confidence. It reads as authoritative and attention-grabbing, with a slightly compressed, old-school flavor that suggests classic advertising, sports branding, or utilitarian labeling.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that combines traditional serif cues with flared, sculpted terminals to achieve a bold, emblematic presence. Its wide stance, compact counters, and squared curves prioritize visual punch and recognizability in branding and large-format typography.
In text settings the heavy weight and tight counters create a strong texture that favors short lines and large sizes. The flared stroke endings and angular shaping add character and help keep the forms distinct, but the overall darkness can close up in smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs.
