A heavy, block-built slab serif with squarish proportions and broad, rectangular counters. Strokes remain consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals end in flat, squared-off slabs that read as integrated parts of the stem rather than delicate serifs. The design leans on straight lines and right angles, with only slight rounding where corners meet to keep joins from feeling brittle. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with single-storey a and g and a generally closed, geometric rhythm that maintains strong color in text.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display roles such as headlines, posters, sports branding, product packaging, and bold signage where its squared slabs and dense weight can anchor a layout. It also works well for short bursts of copy—labels, section headers, and title cards—where impact matters more than delicate typographic nuance.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, with a distinctly retro, sign-paint and sports-header feel. Its chunky slabs and squared detailing convey toughness and utility, while the simplified, almost stencil-like geometry adds a playful, game-like edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a compact, engineered look: a slab serif that feels mechanical, durable, and highly legible at large sizes. Its squared construction and simplified curves suggest a goal of strong branding utility and a consistent, punchy texture across letters and numbers.
Large internal openings in letters like e and a improve recognizability at display sizes, while the dense silhouette and tight interior spaces can build strong texture in longer lines. Numerals follow the same squared, muscular construction, matching the font’s headline-first personality.
