A heavy, squared slab-serif with unbracketed, rectangular serifs and a largely uniform stroke weight. Corners are predominantly sharp, while many interior counters and curves are rounded-rectangle in character (notably in C, D, O, and numerals), giving a machined, cut-from-metal feel. The proportions emphasize breadth and stability, with short ascenders/descenders and a strong horizontal presence; spacing appears slightly tight in text, reinforcing a dense, impactful rhythm. Details like the compact apertures and broad terminals keep the silhouette bold and highly graphic at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short, high-impact lines where weight and width can be used for emphasis. It also fits logos, team/athletic identities, packaging, and bold wayfinding or signage where a rugged, engineered look is desirable. In longer passages, the dense texture and tight counters suggest using larger sizes with generous leading for clarity.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, suggesting industrial signage and sports-centric branding. Its chunky slabs and squared geometry read as confident and no-nonsense, with a mild retro flavor reminiscent of vintage posters and team marks.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority through broad proportions, squared slabs, and simplified geometry—prioritizing strong silhouettes and an industrial, display-first presence.
The uppercase forms are especially commanding and rectangular, while the lowercase maintains the same blocky logic with simplified, sturdy joins. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle construction, producing an even, consistent texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
