A heavy, squared-up serif design built from broad strokes and rounded-rectangle counters. The letterforms lean on straight sides and flat terminals, with small, angular wedge-like serifs that feel chamfered rather than bracketed. Curves are minimized and often resolved into softened corners, producing a stencil-like, engineered rhythm across caps and lowercase. Apertures tend to be tight, and interior shapes are boxy, giving the face a dense, solid texture; numerals follow the same rectangular, cut-corner construction for a highly consistent set.
Best suited to display roles where weight and structure are an advantage: posters, headlines, sports and team identities, bold packaging, and high-impact signage. It holds up well at large sizes where the distinctive cut corners and square counters can be appreciated, and it can add a retro-industrial flavor to short wordmarks and labels.
The overall tone is tough and assertive, with a sporty, industrial character that reads as retro display rather than text tradition. Its sharp corners and compact openings add a slightly militaristic, workwear feel, while the rounded counters keep it from becoming brittle or overly technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a constructed, square-serif look—combining compact geometry, chamfered details, and sturdy proportions to create a distinctive, high-visibility display voice.
The design emphasizes strong silhouette recognition through squared bowls and notched joins, creating a rhythmic pattern of cuts and corners that stays consistent from letters to figures. The lowercase maintains the same block-built logic as the caps, which helps the font feel unified in mixed-case settings.
