A heavy, squared slab serif with broad, blunt terminals and flat-ended strokes. The forms are compact and strongly built, with tight counters, sturdy verticals, and minimal stroke modulation. Serifs read as thick, rectangular blocks that reinforce a rigid, poster-like rhythm, while curves (C, G, S, O) are slightly rounded but still constrained by the overall squared geometry. Lowercase keeps the same dense, mechanical feel, with short extenders and firm, squared joins that maintain a consistent, punchy texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports identities, badges, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can also work for compact subheads where a rugged, authoritative tone is desired, though its dense texture may feel heavy in long paragraphs.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking workwear labeling, athletic lettering, and mid-century headline typography. Its squared slabs and dense proportions give it an industrial confidence that feels commanding and practical rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and legibility through thick, squared slabs and compact proportions, prioritizing a strong, utilitarian voice for display typography.
At display sizes the rectangular serifs and tight apertures create a strong silhouette and a uniform, dark typographic color. Numerals match the blocky construction, with simple, sturdy shapes designed for impact rather than delicacy.
