A heavy, block-built slab with squared curves and sturdy, rectangular serifs. Corners are mostly crisp but often softened by small notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins, especially where strokes join or counters tighten, giving the shapes a carved, mechanical feel. Counters tend to be small and boxy, terminals are blunt, and the overall rhythm is dense and emphatic, with a slightly condensed-in-the-counters look even when the letterforms read broad. The lowercase follows the same rigid, slabbed construction with a single-storey a and g, and numerals match the squared, heavyweight geometry for consistent color in text.
Best suited for bold display work such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where strong presence and high impact are desired. It also fits signage-style applications and sports or team-themed graphics, where sturdy slab structures and dense typographic color help carry at a distance.
The tone is tough and utilitarian, suggesting industrial signage and bold editorial display. Its squared detailing and punched-in joins add a rugged, workmanlike energy that feels assertive and slightly vintage, like letterforms cut from stencils or metal plates rather than written by hand.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, squared forms and robust slabs, while the small cut-ins at joins help preserve clarity in tight spaces and add a distinctive industrial character. It prioritizes strong typographic color and a mechanical, constructed feel over delicate detail.
The strong slab serifs and tight apertures create pronounced texture at smaller sizes, while the crisp geometry and notched joins become a defining stylistic feature at larger sizes. The font’s consistent heft and angular stress make it especially impactful in all-caps settings and short headlines.
