A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared, flat-ended terminals and pronounced chamfered corners that create an octagonal feel in bowls and curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a compact, sturdy texture. Serifs read as rectangular slabs with sharp joins, and many curves are deliberately faceted rather than smoothly round. Proportions are fairly even and upright, with sturdy capitals and a robust, readable lowercase that keeps counters open despite the weight.
Best suited to display sizes where its slab detailing and chamfered geometry can read clearly—posters, headlines, packaging labels, and bold signage. It can also work for short blocks of text such as pull quotes or menu headings when a sturdy, industrial or heritage mood is desired.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking signage, machinery, and old-style display lettering. Its crisp angles and emphatic slabs lend a confident, no-nonsense voice with a subtle vintage frontier/heritage flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through thick, low-modulation strokes, square slab terminals, and faceted curves that translate well to strong, high-contrast reproduction. The angular rounding suggests a deliberate nod to carved, stamped, or sign-painted traditions while maintaining a clean, structured silhouette.
Numerals and round letters (like O, C, G, Q, 8, 0) emphasize geometric, multi-sided construction, while diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) remain rigid and strongly anchored. In text, the dense rhythm and sharp corners create high presence and a slightly rugged texture that favors display settings over long-form reading.
