A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared proportions, prominent rectangular serifs, and chamfered corners that give the outlines a carved, faceted look. Strokes are largely uniform with modest contrast, and many joins and counters show subtle notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that keep the dense forms from clogging. The caps are tall and authoritative, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, compact rhythm with strongly modeled verticals and blunt terminals. Numerals match the same angular, cut-corner construction for a consistent, sign-ready texture.
Best suited for display typography where strong voice and instant legibility are needed: posters, headlines, team or event branding, storefront/signage, and bold packaging or labels. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but its dense weight and angular detailing will generally feel strongest at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels rugged and assertive, mixing a classic American poster sensibility with a no-nonsense, workmanlike solidity. Its sharp cuts and thick slabs suggest tradition and toughness, with an energetic, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif framework, adding chamfered cuts and slight ink-trap details to maintain clarity in heavy strokes while projecting a bold, heritage-forward personality.
Spacing appears designed to hold up in tight, high-impact settings, creating an even, dark typographic color. The distinctive chamfers and small interior scoops become more noticeable at display sizes, where they add character without turning the shapes into ornament.
