A heavy, blocky serif with pronounced, faceted geometry and crisp, chiseled terminals. Curves are largely flattened into octagonal bowls and corners, producing squared counters and a mechanical rhythm. Serifs read as short, triangular wedges and the joins stay hard and unbracketed, with verticals dominating the structure. The lowercase follows the same engineered language, with single-storey forms and small, rectangular apertures that keep the texture dense in setting. Numerals are similarly angular and sturdy, built from straight segments with minimal rounding.
Best used at display sizes for posters, headlines, branding, and punchy packaging where its angular personality can read clearly. It also suits sports-leaning identities, event titling, and signage-style applications that benefit from a strong, compact texture.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial and athletic edge. Its sharp facets and compact internal spaces create a confident, attention-grabbing voice suited to bold statements rather than subtle text.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif cues with a rugged, engineered silhouette—trading delicate curvature for planar facets and sharp wedge serifs to maximize impact and a distinctive, industrial character.
In continuous text the tight counters and heavy mass create a dark color, especially in letters like a, e, s, and g. The design maintains a consistent octagonal motif across rounds (O/Q/0) and diagonals (V/W/X/Y), giving it a cohesive, machined feel.
