A sturdy slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a generally rectangular, slightly octagonal construction. Strokes are low-contrast and consistent, with crisp corners and flat terminals that give the letters a cut-from-metal feel. Counters tend toward squared shapes, and many rounds (C, G, O, S, 0) appear faceted rather than fully curved. The rhythm is firm and mechanical, with compact joins and a solid, even color in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where the bold slab details and faceted curves can register clearly. It also fits sports and collegiate branding, labels, and packaging that benefit from a rugged, traditional voice. For longer passages it can work at comfortable sizes, but it will feel intentionally heavy and attention-forward.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking athletic lettering, workshop signage, and industrial labeling. Its faceted geometry and heavy slabs add a vintage, Americana-leaning character while staying straightforward and functional.
Designed to deliver a durable, high-impact slab serif voice with angular, chamfered curves and square serifs that hold up in bold applications. The consistent stroke weight and no-nonsense geometry suggest an aim toward clarity, toughness, and a classic display presence.
The numerals echo the same chamfered, sign-painter geometry, especially in the 2, 3, 5, and 8, reinforcing a stamped or engraved impression. In paragraph settings the strong serifs and tight interior shapes create a dense, authoritative texture that reads more like display text than delicate book typography.
