A heavy, slab‑serif display face with squared proportions and blunt, flat terminals. Strokes are thick and confident with minimal taper, and corners are predominantly squared off with small internal rounding that keeps counters open at large sizes. The serifs read as block-like brackets/feet rather than delicate finishing, giving the forms a solid, engineered feel. Lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-storey forms and a compact rhythm that stays consistent across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where impact is the priority—posters, sports branding, apparel graphics, packaging fronts, and bold signage. It can also work for labels and UI callouts when set large, where its sturdy slabs and open counters maintain clarity.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, evoking industrial labeling and vintage sports typography. Its dense black texture feels assertive and no-nonsense, with a slightly nostalgic, poster-ready presence.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch with a rugged slab-serif structure and squared terminals, prioritizing strong silhouettes, quick recognition, and a compact, engineered texture for display typography.
The face creates strong horizontal emphasis through wide caps and slab feet, producing a stable baseline and a punchy word silhouette. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and squareness, reinforcing the uniform, sign-like character.
