A heavy, block-built serif display face with squared counters, rounded outer corners, and sharply chamfered terminals that read like clipped wedges. Strokes are largely monolinear, with minimal modulation, and forms lean on rectangular geometry (notably in C/G/O/Q and the numerals) for a rigid, engineered rhythm. Serifs are short and abrupt, often appearing as cut-in notches or flared corners rather than long brackets, giving the letters a carved, mechanical finish. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with a single-storey a and g, a strong slabby presence, and tight interior spaces that emphasize mass over delicacy.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, merch, and packaging, where its chunky geometry and angular detailing can be appreciated. It can also work well for sports or team branding and assertive logo wordmarks, especially when paired with simpler supporting text.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, mixing a vintage workwear feel with a modern, game-like toughness. Its clipped corners and squared bowls convey strength, utility, and a slightly aggressive edge, making the voice feel commanding rather than refined.
The likely intent is a rugged, highly legible display serif that feels engineered and tough—built for attention-grabbing titles and branding where a strong, structured silhouette is more important than typographic subtlety.
The design maintains consistent corner treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive “machined” texture in text. Apertures are relatively small and many counters are boxy, so the face reads best when given room to breathe rather than at tiny sizes.
