A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared bowls and flat, squared terminals. Strokes are uniform and dense, with little modulation, producing a strong, poster-like color on the page. Corners are largely right-angled with occasional small radius softening, and counters tend to be rectangular and tight, especially in letters like O, D, and P. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with a chunky, rectangular i, a short-armed r, and a double-storey g; numerals follow the same squared construction with wide, stable bases.
Best suited for display contexts where bold, blocky letterforms need to hold attention—posters, headlines, storefront or wayfinding signage, and packaging. It can also work for wordmarks and sports/club branding where a sturdy, squared slab personality helps convey strength and reliability.
The overall tone is tough and functional, combining a workmanlike, industrial feel with a confident, athletic energy. Its squared geometry and emphatic slabs read as direct and no-nonsense, evoking signage, varsity-inspired display, and rugged packaging aesthetics rather than delicate editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through squared geometry and prominent slab serifs, prioritizing firmness and clarity over finesse. Its consistent stroke weight and compact counters suggest an emphasis on strong reproduction in high-contrast applications like titles, labels, and signage.
The design leans into squarish curves and tight internal spaces, which increases impact at larger sizes but can make small-size text feel dense. Wide horizontal serifs and strong crossbars create a steady rhythm and a clearly delineated word shape, while the uniform stroke weight keeps the texture consistent across lines.
