A heavy, blocky serif with largely even stroke weight and subtly flared terminals that read as small wedge-like serifs rather than broad slabs. The letterforms are built from squared geometry with rounded corners, producing rectangular bowls (notably in B, D, O, P) and compact, controlled apertures (C, S, e). Many joins and diagonals show crisp, beveled cuts that add a machined feel, while counters stay generous enough to remain open at display sizes. Overall proportions are sturdy and compact, with a consistent rhythm and tight, confident shapes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where impact and a sturdy voice are desirable. It also fits sports identities, event graphics, and signage applications that benefit from squared, high-contrast silhouettes and consistent, logo-friendly forms.
The tone feels bold and workmanlike, with a sporty, poster-ready presence. Its squared curves and beveled details suggest an industrial and slightly retro character, evoking signage, team marks, and utilitarian branding rather than delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to merge a serifed structure with a modern, engineered geometry—using flared terminals and beveled joins to add personality while keeping the overall build monolithic and highly legible at large sizes.
Distinctive detailing appears in the angular, flared stroke endings and the squared-off, rounded-rectangle construction throughout, creating a cohesive system across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The numerals mirror the same squared geometry, giving set numbers and headings a uniform, emblem-like look.
