A compact, blocky serif design with squared, slab-like finishing and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette across rounds and diagonals. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and crisp, flat terminals; internal counters tend to be rectangular or faceted rather than fully round. The lowercase maintains a steady, sturdy rhythm with straight-sided stems and short, robust serifs, while numerals follow the same faceted construction for strong lineup and impact in display settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and branding where a strong, compact voice is needed. It also fits labels and packaging that benefit from a rugged, stamped aesthetic, and can work for short blocks of text when a dense, high-impact texture is desired.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking athletic lettering, workwear branding, and industrial signage. Its sharp corners and notched details add a mechanical, stamped feel that reads as assertive and no-nonsense, with a slightly vintage, varsity edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight footprint, using slab-like finishing and chamfered geometry to create a strong, engineered texture. Its consistent faceting suggests an aim toward a mechanical, sign-like look that remains legible and distinctive in display typography.
The design relies on consistent corner treatment and squared joins, which helps maintain clarity at larger sizes and reinforces a uniform, engineered texture in text. The narrow set and dense color make it especially punchy in headings, while the faceted bowls and counters keep it from feeling soft or rounded.
