A compact, heavy display face with squared, slab-like serifs and clipped corners that produce an octagonal, chamfered silhouette. Strokes stay essentially monolinear, with flat terminals and crisp right-angle joins; counters are tight and rectangular, emphasizing a dense, poster-ready texture. The narrow proportions and tall lowercase create strong vertical rhythm, while small notches and angled cuts at corners add a subtly mechanical, stencil-adjacent bite without breaking the letters apart.
Well-suited to high-impact headlines, posters, and signage where a compact footprint is useful but strong presence is required. It also fits sports branding, badges, labels, and packaging fronts that benefit from a rugged, industrial flavor.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, with a vintage industrial and athletic edge. Its hard corners and compressed stance communicate authority and impact, evoking workwear labels, team lettering, and old poster typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed width while retaining clear, squared serif structure. Its chamfered geometry suggests a deliberate move toward a manufactured, stamped look that holds up in bold display applications.
In text settings the dense black value and tight internal spaces make it read best at larger sizes, where the chamfered details and slab terminations stay clear. The lowercase is compact and upright, keeping lines orderly and emphatic rather than conversational.
