A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with wide proportions and a largely uniform stroke weight. Forms are built from straight segments and crisp chamfered corners, giving bowls and curves an octagonal feel rather than true roundness. Serifs are broad and rectangular with square terminals, producing a firm baseline and strong horizontal emphasis. Counters are generous and open, and joins stay clean and angular, keeping the overall texture dense but highly structured.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity matter: headlines, posters, sports and team branding, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short UI or interface labels when a rugged, squared tone is desired, but its bold, wide build is most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian confidence with a slightly retro, machine-made character. Its angular geometry and pronounced slabs suggest athletic signage and industrial labeling, while the wide stance adds a loud, attention-grabbing presence. Overall it feels purposeful, mechanical, and punchy rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through width, weight, and slab reinforcement, while using chamfered geometry to keep shapes crisp and technical. Its faceted curves and square terminals aim for a durable, engineered look that reads quickly and holds up in assertive branding contexts.
The angular treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with many rounded shapes rendered as faceted outlines. The weight and width create strong word shapes in short bursts, and the squared details remain clear in the sample text, especially on straight-sided letters and digits.
