A heavy slab serif with broad proportions and dense, rectangular forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals resolve into blunt, square-ended slabs that read as strong horizontal anchors. The letterforms favor simple geometry and sturdy joins, with compact internal counters and a generally even texture despite some width variation across characters. Lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, reinforcing a solid, packed rhythm in text and at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where strong structure and high visual weight are desirable, such as posters, big headlines, team or athletic branding, and bold packaging. It can work for short bursts of text, but the dense counters and heavy slabs make it most effective when used with generous spacing and clear hierarchy.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its blocky slabs and wide stance give it a vintage, poster-ready feel that can also read as sporty or industrial depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, square-cut slab serif voice—favoring strong silhouettes, stable horizontals, and a compact, high-density texture for attention-grabbing typography.
At larger sizes the squared serifs and tight counters become prominent stylistic cues, creating a strong baseline and cap-line emphasis. The numerals match the same blunt, sturdy construction, supporting consistent impact in mixed alphanumeric settings.
