A heavy, block-built slab with squared silhouettes and crisp chamfered corners. Strokes are thick and uniform with flat terminals and prominent slab-like feet, creating a sturdy, poster-ready texture. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, and apertures tend toward closed forms, which increases density in longer lines. The lowercase follows the same architectural logic as the caps, with a tall x-height and minimal modulation; curves are treated as faceted shapes rather than smooth rounds.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and branding marks where a dense, powerful presence is desired. It also performs well for signage and sports or team-style graphics that benefit from sturdy slabs and squared geometry. For longer copy, larger sizes and generous tracking help preserve legibility.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a rugged, workwear sensibility. Its squared detailing reads as industrial and athletic, while the chamfered cuts add a subtle vintage, sign-painter/woodtype flavor. The result feels confident, loud, and deliberately utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through heavy slabs, squared terminals, and faceted corners, echoing vintage display lettering while remaining clean and geometric. It prioritizes strong silhouette and a consistent, industrial rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
In text settings the color is very dark and compact, so spacing and line breaks matter for comfort. The numerals share the same angular, cut-corner construction, helping signage and scoreboard-style applications feel consistent.
