A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with square-ended terminals and minimal stroke modulation. The letterforms are built from straight stems and broad curves with rounded corners, creating a sturdy, machined rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are restrained, giving the design a compact, high-impact texture in text. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, while caps are wide and firmly planted; numerals follow the same chunky, squared-off construction for consistent color.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, labels, and display typography where a strong, blocky slab voice is desired. It performs well for posters, packaging, wayfinding-style signage, and athletic or industrial-themed branding, and can also work for short editorial pull quotes when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a workmanlike presence that reads as industrial and slightly retro. Its squared slabs and compact spacing evoke signage, athletic labeling, and utilitarian printing where clarity and punch matter more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a square, slab-driven structure and a compact, consistent typographic color. It aims for robust legibility at display sizes while projecting a confident, utilitarian personality.
Across both caps and lowercase, curves tend to resolve into flattened, squared shapes, and joins stay clean and orthogonal. The bold weight and tight internal space can cause dense paragraphs to feel dark, but it holds up strongly in short lines where its distinctive slab rhythm is most apparent.
