A heavy display serif with broad proportions, compact counters, and a strongly engineered, cut-out feel. Strokes are predominantly straight and chunky with moderated contrast, while many terminals open into small triangular notches and wedge-like flares that read like beveled cuts or ink-trap-inspired shaping. Serifs are short and sharp rather than bracketed, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are squared-off with flattened shoulders. The lowercase keeps a sturdy, rectangular build with single-storey a, a compact e with a tight aperture, and a g that leans toward a squared, closed form; numerals match the same blocky, chiseled logic.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and stylized texture are desirable. It works well for logotypes, event graphics, packaging titles, and signage that benefits from a rugged, retro-industrial voice, and is less appropriate for long-form text or small UI sizes due to its dense interiors and decorative cuts.
The overall tone is bold, confident, and slightly vintage, evoking signage, sports branding, and rugged, utilitarian lettering. Its angular cut-ins and flared corners add a decorative edge that feels mechanical and high-impact rather than refined or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive carved/engineered signature, combining traditional serif cues with squared, display-oriented construction. Its repeated wedge notches and flared terminals suggest a deliberate strategy to create memorable silhouettes and a rugged, signage-ready personality.
Spacing and rhythm are optimized for large sizes: the tight counters and frequent notches create dense color and strong silhouettes, but can reduce clarity when set small. The distinctive cut details are consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the face a cohesive, emblematic look.
