A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a largely monoline stroke feel. Forms are broadly proportioned with rounded outer corners and tightly controlled internal counters, giving letters a compact, machined look. Many glyphs feature small horizontal notches or cut-ins that create a subtly segmented rhythm across stems and bowls. Curves are squared off into rounded rectangles, and terminals tend toward flat, squared endings for a firm, engineered silhouette.
Best suited to large-scale use where its mass and distinctive cut-in details can read clearly—headlines, posters, event graphics, and branding with a rugged or athletic voice. It can also work for short bursts of copy in packaging and signage where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, equipment-like presence. The squared geometry and repeated cut-in details evoke industrial labeling and retro-futuristic display typography, projecting confidence and impact rather than softness or elegance.
This design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that merges classic slab-serif solidity with a more engineered, contemporary surface treatment. The repeated notches and rounded-rectilinear construction suggest a focus on recognizability and a consistent industrial rhythm across letters and numbers.
The digit set follows the same rounded-rectangle geometry, with layered horizontal breaks that emphasize a streamlined, mechanical motif. The lowercase maintains sturdy slab details and compact apertures, keeping texture dense and consistent in text settings.
