A heavy, squared slab-serif with blunt terminals, rounded outside corners, and frequent squared counters. Strokes are thick and confident, with subtle internal stepping and notched joins that add a slightly stencil-like, engineered feel. Proportions are broad and sturdy, and the lowercase sits high with large, square-ish bowls and apertures that stay open at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same rigid, modular construction, producing a consistent, sign-like rhythm across lines.
Best suited to display contexts where weight and structure are an advantage—posters, headlines, badges, packaging, and bold wayfinding or labeling. It also works well for logotypes and team or event branding that benefits from a rugged, industrial voice.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking industrial labeling, retro sports lettering, and utilitarian equipment markings. Its chunky slabs and squared geometry give it a tough, mechanical energy that reads as confident and attention-grabbing.
Likely intended as a high-impact slab-serif built from a modular, squared construction, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a distinctive notched detail for recognition at a glance. The design appears tuned for punchy display typography rather than delicate text settings.
The design leans on rectangular counters and tight, boxy inner shapes, which amplifies impact but can make dense paragraphs feel dark. In the sample text, the strong horizontal slabs and notched details create a lively texture that suits short bursts of copy more than long reading.
