A heavy, block-structured slab serif with flat, square terminals and broad, unmodulated strokes. The serifs are substantial and mostly unbracketed, producing a strong baseline and a distinctly rectangular footprint across words. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward closed shapes, while joins and inner corners show slightly scooped notches that keep dense forms from filling in. Overall proportions feel compact and sturdy, with consistent vertical stress and a crisp, engineered rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and bold packaging callouts where the slabbed baseline can do visual work. It can also serve for signage and labels when a rugged, industrial presence is desired, while longer passages may need generous tracking and leading to avoid a heavy overall color.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, leaning toward an industrial and athletic sensibility. Its weight and squared finishing convey toughness and reliability, with a subtle retro, poster-like flavor that reads as confident and attention-grabbing.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence with simple geometry and strong slabs, prioritizing clarity at display sizes and a tough, utilitarian character. The slightly notched interior shaping appears intended to preserve letter definition in dense, very heavy forms.
In text settings the dense massing creates a dark color and strong horizontal emphasis from the slabs, making spacing and line length feel impactful. The numerals and capitals maintain the same blocky, squared logic, supporting a unified, signage-like texture across mixed content.
