A compact, heavy serif with squared-off slab details and a generally uniform stroke feel. The letterforms are condensed with tight internal counters, creating dense, rectangular silhouettes and strong vertical emphasis. Terminals and serifs read as flat, abrupt cuts, while curves (such as in C, S, and O) stay controlled and sturdy rather than delicate. The rhythm is punchy and consistent, with firm joins and a slightly mechanical, constructed impression across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where its compact width and bold presence can create high impact in limited horizontal space. It works well for posters, signage, labels, and identity work that benefits from an industrial or athletic voice, and it can hold up in short bursts of text such as subheads, callouts, and product naming.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, leaning toward vintage signage and athletic display typography. Its blunt slabs and compressed proportions convey confidence and practicality, with a subtle old-school, workmanlike character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through condensed proportions and squared slab features, prioritizing firmness and clarity over finesse. It aims for a dependable, poster-friendly texture that reads as structured and emphatic in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
The uppercase set feels especially commanding due to the condensed width and large, blocky serifs; the lowercase keeps the same robust structure, helping mixed-case lines maintain a strong, even color. Numerals match the same squarish, no-nonsense construction, supporting clear, high-impact settings.
