A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with condensed proportions and a squared, unbracketed serif treatment. Strokes are largely monolinear and terminate in crisp, rectangular slabs, while many curves are faceted into octagonal forms, giving counters and bowls a cut-off, geometric feel. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with a tall x-height and minimal modulation; joins and corners stay sharp and mechanical. Overall spacing and rhythm read tight and punchy, optimized for large, high-impact settings rather than delicate text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and compact width help fit more characters into a line. It works well for sports identities, labels/packaging, and bold signage that benefits from a rugged, blocky texture.
The tone is bold and assertive, evoking athletic lettering and workmanlike signage. Its angular, chiseled shapes suggest a rugged, vintage sensibility with a no-nonsense, poster-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through condensed, slabbed forms and faceted geometry, balancing a vintage display flavor with practical legibility at larger sizes.
Several characters show simplified, squared counters and blunt apertures that emphasize solidity over openness. The numerals and caps share the same faceted geometry, creating a consistent, emblem-like texture across lines of display text.
