A compact, heavy serif display face built from straight segments and crisp, chamfered corners. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, with wedge-like, flared terminals that read as small, pointed serifs rather than broad slabs. Bowls and counters tend toward squared and octagonal shapes, creating a consistent, engineered geometry across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The rhythm is tight with sturdy verticals, short crossbars, and minimal curvature, yielding a dense, high-contrast silhouette against the background.
This font suits headlines, posters, and branding where impact and a technical, sporty character are desired. It works well on packaging and signage that benefit from compact widths and strong shapes, and it can add a distinctive, retro-industrial flavor to labels, badges, and short UI or wayfinding text at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and athletic, with a retro, machine-made attitude. Its sharp corners and blocky construction suggest strength and precision, giving text a confident, no-nonsense voice that leans more toward signage and identity than long-form reading.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif signaling through a geometric, faceted construction, prioritizing bold presence and reproducible, hard-edged forms. Its consistent chamfers and compact proportions suggest a focus on display use where a strong, crafted silhouette carries the message.
In running text, the angular construction remains prominent, especially in rounded letters where corners are faceted rather than smooth. The numerals match the caps in weight and geometry, reinforcing a cohesive, emblem-like look well-suited to large sizes.
