A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared proportions and prominent, bracketless serifs. Corners are consistently chamfered into octagonal facets, with occasional small notches and cut-ins that add a carved, stamped feel. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, and the lowercase maintains substantial mass with short extenders and a sturdy, vertical rhythm. The overall color is dense and even, with clear slab terminals and a controlled, mechanical geometry across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where strong silhouettes and slab serifs can carry impact—posters, headlines, signage, and bold brand marks. It also fits sports or varsity-style identities and packaging that benefits from a rugged, stamped aesthetic.
The faceted slabs and bold, carved silhouettes evoke classic western and collegiate signage, with a confident, no-nonsense tone. It reads as assertive and traditional, suggesting heritage printing, sports identity, and headline-driven display work.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority through chunky slabs and chamfered geometry, referencing wood-type and sign-painting traditions while keeping a consistent, grid-like structure for modern layout use.
The letterforms favor straight strokes and flat terminals, producing strong alignment and a rigid baseline presence. The design’s small internal cut details become more apparent at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes they can visually thicken the texture and tighten counters.
