A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared, octagonal geometry and crisp chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a dense, sturdy color in text. Serifs read as flat slabs with short, bracketless joins, and many curves are rendered as faceted arcs, giving round letters an engineered, almost cut-metal feel. Counters are relatively tight and rectilinear, while spacing and widths vary by glyph, creating a punchy, display-oriented rhythm. Numerals match the same angular construction, including a clearly slashed zero.
Best suited to headlines, short blocks of copy, and graphic applications where strong structure and impact are desired. It performs well in posters, bold signage, team or event branding, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, engineered look.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a confident, poster-ready presence. Its faceted shapes and slab detailing suggest workwear, scoreboard graphics, and retro-industrial signage, projecting practicality more than elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with an industrial, faceted aesthetic—combining slab-serif solidity with squared-off, machined contours for a distinctive, print-forward display voice.
At larger sizes the chamfers and polygonal curves become a defining texture; in smaller text the tight apertures and dense weight can make lines feel compact. The lowercase maintains a strong, sturdy stance with minimal softness, reinforcing the mechanical character across mixed-case settings.
