A heavy slab-serif display face with squared, octagonal contours and clipped corners throughout. Strokes are substantial and built from straight runs with minimal curvature, while bracketed slab serifs and notched joins give the forms a carved, engineered feel. An internal inline cut runs through the strokes, creating a hollowed highlight that adds depth and a dimensional, sign-painted look. The lowercase echoes the uppercase construction, with compact counters and sturdy terminals; numerals follow the same blocky geometry for consistent rhythm in set text.
Best suited to impactful applications such as posters, event titles, sports and team branding, badges, packaging, and storefront-style signage. It also works well for short emphatic phrases, labels, and display numerals where the inline detailing can function as a built-in accent.
The overall tone is assertive and nostalgic, evoking western signage, athletic lettering, and vintage poster typography. The inline carving reads as decorative and slightly industrial, adding a sense of craftsmanship and toughness rather than refinement.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with a decorative inline that suggests engraved or inlaid lettering. Its consistent chamfered geometry and slab structure prioritize bold, readable silhouettes while adding a vintage display flavor.
The design relies on strong outer silhouettes and small internal apertures, so clarity is best at larger sizes where the inline detail and interior counters can breathe. The repeated chamfers and slab terminals create a steady, emphatic texture across words and headlines.
