A compact, heavy, slab-serif design with squared, block-built letterforms and sharply chamfered corners that create an octagonal, machined silhouette. Strokes remain largely monolinear, with flat terminals and prominent, rectangular serifs that read as integrated extensions of the stems. Counters are tight and geometric, producing a dense texture, while the overall rhythm stays steady and vertical with minimal curvature and a strong baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where its dense weight and angular slabs can carry from a distance. It also fits branding for sports, breweries, workwear, or heritage-inspired packaging, and can be used for short text passages when a strong, industrial texture is desired.
The font conveys a rugged, no-nonsense tone with a vintage edge, evoking signage and workwear lettering. Its hard angles and heavy slabs feel confident and utilitarian, with a hint of old-time poster and frontier display energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, combining slab-serif authority with a squared, engineered aesthetic. Its consistent stroke logic and chamfered details suggest a focus on robust display typography that feels both retro and utilitarian.
The uppercase shows a particularly architectural construction, while the lowercase retains the same squared logic, keeping text blocks dark and consistent. Numerals and key shapes (like the diagonals in K, X, and the pointed joins in V/W) emphasize the angular theme, making the face especially striking at display sizes.
