A heavy, squared serif with softened corners and a compact, engineered construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and curves are often resolved into rounded rectangles rather than true bowls. Serifs read as small, sharp wedges or triangular terminals that add bite to otherwise boxy silhouettes, while joins and apertures stay tight for a dense, blocky rhythm. The overall spacing and proportions favor a broad stance and sturdy horizontals, creating a strong, modular texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, and logo wordmarks where its dense shapes and angular terminals can be appreciated. It can also work well on packaging or sports/tech branding that benefits from an industrial, futuristic feel. For long reading, its tight apertures and heavy texture will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous leading.
The font projects a techno-leaning, retro-industrial tone—confident, hard-edged, and slightly futuristic. Its wedge-like detailing and rounded-square geometry evoke machinery, sports branding, and sci‑fi interfaces more than traditional book typography. The overall voice is loud and declarative, optimized for impact.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif cues with a geometric, machine-like structure, creating a distinctive display face that feels both assertive and contemporary. The consistent stroke weight and rounded-square construction suggest a focus on strong reproduction across large-format applications and branded messaging.
Several glyphs emphasize squarish counters (notably the rounded-rectangle O/0 forms), and the numerals follow the same boxy, engineered logic for consistent signage-style cohesion. The lowercase maintains the same weight and corner treatment as the uppercase, preserving a uniform, display-oriented color in mixed-case settings.
