A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared, unbracketed serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The shapes favor straight stems, right angles, and flattened terminals, with corners frequently cut into small chamfers that add a mechanical, stenciled-like toughness without true breaks. Counters are tight and rectangular, and the overall silhouette is compact and dense, producing strong color in text. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, while the lowercase remains sturdy and simplified with minimal modulation and clear slabbed endings; figures follow the same chunky, squared construction.
Best suited to display settings where weight and square structure can carry the message—headlines, posters, team or campus-style branding, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for packaging and signage that benefit from a sturdy, high-impact typographic voice, while longer passages will appear dense due to the compact counters and heavy color.
The tone is bold and assertive, evoking athletic and workwear traditions with an industrial, no-nonsense voice. Its squared serifs and compact counters give it a rugged, poster-ready energy that feels vintage and utilitarian rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a sturdy slab-serif framework, combining compact, squared forms with chamfered details for a tough, manufactured feel. Its consistent weight and emphatic serifs prioritize visibility and character in branding and display typography.
In the sample text, the dense letterfit and short apertures create a solid, continuous texture, especially in longer lines. The angular detailing (notches and chamfers) becomes a defining feature at display sizes, where it reads as intentionally engineered and impactful.
