A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with broad proportions and an emphatically squared skeleton. Strokes are near-monoline with crisp, unbracketed slab terminals and frequent 45° corner cuts that create an octagonal, machined feel. Curves are largely squared-off with slightly rounded outer corners, while counters tend to be rectangular or notched, producing a compact, engineered texture. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, but the overall rhythm stays dense and steady, with strong horizontal presence and clear, chunky joins.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, sports identities, and bold packaging where its broad, blocky forms can dominate the page. It can also work for short labels and signage, particularly in industrial or retro-themed applications; longer text will appear very dense due to the heavy strokes and tight counters.
The tone is rugged and utilitarian, evoking sports lettering, industrial labeling, and retro technical display typography. Its squared forms and cut corners read as mechanical and forceful, while the wide stance gives it a confident, poster-ready energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through wide, squared letterforms and hard-edged slab serifs, while maintaining a consistent, engineered geometry. The chamfered corners and rectangular counters suggest a goal of looking machined and robust, with a clear emphasis on display readability and graphic presence.
Several letters and numerals show distinctive rectangular counters and small internal cutouts that can feel subtly stencil-like at larger sizes. The strong slabs and tight interior spaces create a dark color in paragraphs, making it most effective where impact is prioritized over airy openness.
