A heavy, compact roman with strong stroke contrast and a sturdy, squared-off presence. Curves are full and rounded but terminate in blunt, flattened ends, giving counters a tight, punchy look. Several forms show small wedge-like spurs and bracketed joins (notably on letters like E, F, T and in the shoulders/arches), which adds texture and a slightly engraved feel despite the overall clean construction. Proportions are consistent and upright, with a relatively short, dense lowercase and wide, stable caps; numerals are bold and legible with simplified, high-impact shapes.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and short editorial titles where bold contrast and compact forms help create emphasis. It can also work for packaging and label-style applications, as well as branding in categories that benefit from a traditional, sturdy voice such as sports, workwear, and signage.
The font reads as confident and forceful, with a classic, workmanlike tone. Its contrast and compact rhythm evoke traditional signage and editorial display typography, while the chunky silhouette lends a sporty, no-nonsense energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed, tightly spaced silhouette while preserving a traditional, contrasted rhythm. It balances a largely clean, sans-like simplicity with subtle spurs and bracketed joins to avoid feeling purely geometric and to add a classic display character.
The darkest masses sit in vertical stems, while horizontals and some joins thin noticeably, creating a clear internal rhythm at large sizes. Apertures tend to be tight and counters relatively small, which heightens impact but suggests it will prefer display settings over long, small-size reading.
