A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared curves and broad, flat terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Corners are mostly squared-off with occasional soft rounding in bowls, and counters are tight, emphasizing mass over openness. The serifs read as chunky, integrated slabs that feel more like structural extensions than delicate finishing strokes, giving the face a compact, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited to display work where weight and silhouette can do the heavy lifting: posters, headlines, sports and team graphics, bold packaging, and wayfinding or storefront-style signage. It can also serve for short subheads or callouts when a sturdy, no-nonsense voice is needed, but it’s visually dense for extended reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a distinctly retro, workwear energy. It evokes sign painting, athletic titling, and industrial labeling—confident and blunt rather than refined. The bold, squared forms communicate strength and straightforwardness, making the font feel loud and dependable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy slab-serif framework and squared, industrial shapes. It prioritizes bold presence, compact rhythm, and legibility through strong outlines rather than fine detail, aligning it with expressive titling and branding scenarios.
The uppercase is especially compact and monolithic, while the lowercase maintains the same blocky construction for consistent color in text. Numerals follow the same squared, heavy style and hold up well at display sizes. The family’s geometry favors strong silhouettes and clear, simplified joins over delicate detail, which helps maintain impact in short lines.
