A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared counters and flat, squared terminals throughout. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and the joins resolve into crisp right angles rather than curves. Serifs are bold and rectangular, giving the letterforms a compact, stamped look, while interiors (like O, D, B, and 8) stay tightly squared and visually dense. The overall rhythm is strong and even, with simplified geometry and consistent, chunky detailing that holds up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where bold, architectural letterforms create immediate presence. It can work well for signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks that want a rugged, industrial or athletic voice, and for display typography where dense, square counters and strong slabs are an asset.
The tone reads tough and utilitarian, with a no-nonsense, workwear character that also nods to athletic and old poster lettering. Its squared construction and emphatic slabs suggest signage, machinery labeling, and bold editorial headlines rather than delicate or refined settings.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum impact through simplified, squared construction and substantial slab serifs, prioritizing a solid silhouette and high visibility. The consistent stroke weight and compact, angular shaping suggest an intention to evoke poster-era and workmanlike lettering in a contemporary, repeatable typeface form.
Distinctive angularity appears in diagonals and junctions, keeping forms sharp and mechanical. The lowercase maintains the same block logic as the caps, reinforcing a unified texture in mixed-case lines. Numerals match the heavy, squared treatment and feel designed to remain forceful and legible in short, high-impact settings.
