A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared, chamfered corners and mostly flat terminals. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal contrast, producing a dense, even texture. Counters are relatively small and geometric, often squared-off, and joins feel crisp and mechanical rather than calligraphic. Uppercase forms read wide and steady with strong slab feet and caps, while the lowercase keeps a compact, workmanlike rhythm with short ascenders and sturdy, straight-sided stems. Numerals follow the same angular, cut-corner construction for consistent color in headline settings.
Best suited to display typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports and team-style branding, and bold packaging panels. It also works well for signage or labels that benefit from a rugged, geometric slab voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with an athletic and industrial edge. Its squared slabs and clipped corners evoke signage, uniforms, and utilitarian print, giving text an authoritative, vintage-leaning presence without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and durability through a geometric slab structure, using square terminals and clipped corners to create a cohesive, badge-like look. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and a consistent, industrial rhythm for emphatic messaging.
The font’s strong horizontals and verticals create high visual stability, while the repeated chamfer motif ties glyphs together and improves separation at display sizes. The heavy weight and tight interior spaces can make long passages feel dense, but the shapes remain clear and punchy for short runs.
