A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad proportions and squared-off terminals. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with minimal modulation and a strong rectangular rhythm reinforced by flat, unbracketed slabs. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while joins and corners stay crisp and geometric, giving letters a dense, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase carries a straightforward, utilitarian structure with sturdy stems and short, emphatic serifs that keep texture even across words.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where strong shapes and high visual presence are needed. It also fits signage and wayfinding, sports/team-style branding, and packaging or labels that benefit from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif voice.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with an industrial clarity that reads as dependable and assertive. Its squared details and bold slabs evoke signage, team branding, and classic print headlines, projecting a direct, confident voice rather than a delicate or refined one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility through thick, squared strokes and emphatic slabs, creating a stable reading line and a bold, graphic texture. Its geometry and consistent weight suggest a focus on practical display use rather than refined text setting.
The figures share the same stocky, rectangular construction as the letters, supporting consistent color in mixed alphanumerics. At larger sizes the sharp corners and flat slabs become a defining graphic feature, while in smaller settings the dense weight may call for generous spacing to avoid crowding.
