A heavy, block-constructed slab with crisp, chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette across stems, bowls, and terminals. Strokes stay consistently thick with a squared-off, engraved feel, while counters are tight and geometric, producing a dense texture in text. Capitals are broad-shouldered and sturdy, and the lowercase follows the same hard-edged construction with simplified, rectangular forms and minimal curvature. Numerals match the type’s angular logic, with clipped corners and robust, sign-ready shapes.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where its dense color and faceted slabs can carry: posters, headlines, sports and team marks, product packaging, and bold wayfinding or storefront-style signage. It works especially well when you want a vintage, hard-edged block look that remains highly structured and consistent across letters and numbers.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a classic athletic and workwear flavor. Its sharp facets and compact massing evoke vintage signage, sports lettering, and bold headline typography meant to read quickly and project confidence.
Likely designed to deliver a rugged, high-impact slab aesthetic with a distinctive chamfered geometry that reads as both vintage and industrial. The emphasis appears to be on immediate recognizability, strong silhouette, and a uniform, engineered rhythm for branding and display typography.
The repeated corner notches and flattened joins create a distinctive rhythm that feels mechanically precise rather than calligraphic. In longer lines, the tight internal spaces and heavy color amplify impact but can make small sizes feel crowded compared to more open slabs.
