A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared, chamfered corners that give many glyphs an octagonal silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick and largely monoline, with flat, rectangular slabs and terminals that read as cut from a single piece. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, producing dense texture and strong color in text. Uppercase forms are broad and sturdy; lowercase maintains the same architectural logic with simplified bowls and shoulders, keeping a uniform, punchy rhythm across lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, sports or team branding, badges, and apparel graphics. It can also work for packaging and signage where a strong, compact block style helps maintain legibility at a distance, though extended body text may feel heavy due to tight counters.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a collegiate and workwear flavor. Its crisp corners and compact counters create an authoritative, sign-like presence that feels sporty and industrial rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, machined slab-serif voice. The consistent weight and repeated chamfered geometry suggest a focus on uniformity and strong silhouettes for display-driven typography.
The chamfering is a defining motif across curves and joins, softening the geometry without introducing true rounds. Numerals follow the same squared construction and read well at display sizes, while the densest letters can darken quickly in longer passages.
