A heavy, tightly constructed display serif with broad proportions and a squared, machined silhouette. Strokes stay largely uniform, while many terminals and joins subtly flare into wedge-like endings that read as serifs without becoming slabby. Curves are frequently squarish with softened corners, producing rounded-rectangle bowls and counters (notably in C, G, O, and the lowercase o/c/e), and the overall rhythm alternates between sturdy verticals and broad horizontal spans. Spacing appears built for headline sizes, with compact inner counters and assertive mass that keeps shapes coherent in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent branding where strong silhouettes matter. The dense, squared letterforms and flared terminals also work well for packaging, labels, and sports- or tech-adjacent identities that need impact and a slightly retro-industrial edge.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a sporty, tech-leaning character that feels both retro and utilitarian. Its squared curves and flared endings give it a purposeful, engineered voice—confident and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence with a controlled, engineered geometry, using flared serif-like endings to add distinction and structure without introducing delicate contrast. It prioritizes bold readability and recognizable shapes for display typography.
The uppercase forms read especially geometric and modular, while the lowercase introduces more traditional cues through strong stems and flared terminals, creating a hybrid of contemporary squareness and classic serif signaling. Numerals follow the same broad, compact strategy, with rounded-rectangular interior spaces and a sturdy, sign-like presence.
