A heavy, squared slab serif with chunky stems, flat terminals, and broad, rectangular serifs that read as integrated blocks rather than delicate feet. Curves are largely squarish and rounded-rectangle in character, with generous interior counters that keep letters open despite the weight. Stroke modulation is minimal, corners are mostly firm, and the overall rhythm is steady and robust, producing a compact, sign-like texture in words and lines.
Best suited to display work where strong presence is needed: headlines, posters, product packaging, and wayfinding or signage. It also fits sports-themed branding, badges, and labels where a sturdy, block-built serif can communicate strength and reliability.
The tone is tough and no-nonsense, leaning industrial and workwear with a clear vintage flavor. Its block construction and squared curves feel practical and mechanical, giving headlines an assertive, confident voice with a hint of classic sports and poster typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through blocky slabs and squared curves, echoing utilitarian and vintage display traditions. It prioritizes solidity, clarity, and a confident, built-from-rectangles aesthetic that holds together well in dense, bold wordmarks.
Numerals and capitals carry a particularly strong, geometric presence, while the lowercase maintains the same slabbed, squared logic for consistency in longer phrases. The face favors bold silhouettes and clear word shapes over delicate detail, making it visually stable at large sizes and in high-impact settings.
