A heavy, angular display serif built from monoline strokes with extensive chamfering. Most outer corners are clipped into octagonal forms, producing squared counters (notably in O, D, and 0) and a strongly geometric silhouette. Serifs read as short, triangular or wedge-like terminals rather than slabs, and joins stay crisp with minimal curvature. Spacing and sidebearings feel tuned for headline density, with broad capitals and sturdy numerals that keep a consistent, blocky rhythm across lines.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, sports branding, and logo marks where the chamfered construction can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of text on packaging, labels, and editorial callouts, especially when a rugged, technical look is desired. For longer reading, its dense, angular forms are more effective as an accent than as body text.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking signage, equipment labeling, and team or unit identity. Its hard angles and cut corners introduce a slightly retro, game-day energy while still reading as tough and functional rather than ornate. The texture is loud and attention-forward, designed to project confidence at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through geometric, clipped-corner letterforms and compact headline spacing. By pairing wedge-like serifs with an octagonal construction, it aims to reference traditional serif cues while firmly landing in a contemporary, industrial display style.
The lowercase follows the same engineered geometry, with squared bowls and sharp terminals that keep the family’s industrial voice consistent. Rounded letters are intentionally minimized; even traditionally curved forms lean toward straight segments and clipped arcs. Numerals share the same octagonal construction, supporting cohesive titling and numbering applications.
