A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared construction and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette on rounds like O, C, and G. Strokes are consistently thick with short, rectangular slabs and flat terminals, giving the alphabet a sturdy, mechanical rhythm. Counters tend to be compact and angular, and joins stay crisp, producing a dense, poster-friendly texture. Uppercase forms feel more architectural and uniform, while the lowercase introduces more variation (notably in a, g, and t) without losing the overall geometric, cut-corner logic.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a loud, compact, highly legible voice is needed. It also fits sports identities, bold packaging panels, and wayfinding or shop signage that benefits from an industrial, blocky presence.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a strong vintage utility feel that recalls athletic lettering, stenciled signage, and hardwearing industrial marks. Its angular cuts and weight convey confidence and toughness, leaning more toward functional impact than softness or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a simplified, angular slab-serif system: thick strokes, flat terminals, and chamfered corners that unify the set. The consistent geometry suggests a focus on creating a durable, easily recognizable display face for attention-grabbing typography.
Spacing and silhouettes read best at medium-to-large sizes where the internal shapes can breathe; at smaller sizes the tight counters and dense slabs may visually fill in. Numerals and capitals share the same chamfered geometry, keeping headings and short strings visually consistent.
