A heavy, squared slab serif with broad proportions and crisp, flat terminals. Strokes are strongly contrasted for a slabby design, with thick verticals and comparatively thinner joins and interior cuts. The letterforms lean on rectangular geometry—boxy bowls, squared-off curves, and compact counters—creating a dense, sturdy texture. Serifs read as bold, unbracketed blocks that extend the width and reinforce a mechanical, sign-like rhythm. Numerals and lowercase follow the same angular logic, with simplified shapes and consistently squared corners.
Best suited to large-size applications where its squared slabs and compact counters can read cleanly: headlines, posters, sports marks, event graphics, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels where a sturdy, authoritative voice is needed.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a rugged, workmanlike confidence. Its blocky geometry and emphatic slabs evoke classic American display typography—sport, tools, packaging, and industrial labeling—while staying clean and contemporary enough for modern headline use.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a disciplined, geometric slab structure—prioritizing punch, width, and a strong baseline presence for display typography that needs to feel durable and attention-grabbing.
Spacing appears deliberately generous for a heavy display face, helping prevent clogging at larger sizes despite the tight counters. The most distinctive personality comes from the squarish rounding and the rectangular interior cutouts, which give the design a slightly stencil-like, engineered feel without true breaks in the strokes.
