A heavy, extended slab-serif with squared construction softened by rounded outer corners and frequent notches in joins and terminals. Strokes are uniformly thick with flat, blocky serifs and compact counters that read as rounded rectangles. Many glyphs show deliberate cut-ins (especially in E, F, S, and several lowercase) that create a segmented, stencil-like rhythm while keeping the letterforms closed and sturdy. The lowercase is large relative to the capitals, with short ascenders/descenders and tight internal space, producing a dense, compact texture in paragraph settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, logos, posters, and sports or event graphics where its broad stance and slab structure can project strength. It can also work for packaging and signage when set with generous tracking and ample leading to counter its dense counters and heavy texture.
The overall tone feels engineered and display-driven—part retro-futurist and part industrial signage. The squared slabs and mechanical notching suggest performance, hardware, and high-impact branding rather than a literary or delicate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a mechanical, squared slab-serif voice—combining wide proportions, strong terminals, and distinctive notching to create a memorable, industrial display style that stays legible in bold branding contexts.
Wide proportions and heavy weight reduce white space at small sizes, while the notches help differentiate similar shapes and add visual snap. Numerals follow the same squared, rounded-rectangle logic and carry the same bold, sign-paint-like solidity.
