A heavy, high-impact serif display with squared-off construction and consistent stroke weight. Letterforms are built from straight segments with frequent 45° chamfered corners, producing an octagonal silhouette and a crisp, machined rhythm. Serifs are compact and angular, often appearing as small spurs or notched terminals rather than flowing brackets. Counters are tight and rectangular, with occasional wedge-like cut-ins at joins that read like ink traps, reinforcing the rugged, stamped look.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its angular detailing can be appreciated: sports identities, event posters, bold headlines, apparel marks, packaging, and labels. It also works well for badges, signage, and any application that benefits from a sturdy, vintage-industrial voice.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, evoking collegiate lettering, workwear branding, and frontier poster typography. Its sharp corners and notched detailing give it a tough, utilitarian confidence, while the retro construction adds a familiar, heritage flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a rugged, constructed serif style—using chamfered corners, compact spurs, and dense counters to create a sturdy, emblematic display face that holds together in large sizes and branding contexts.
Spacing reads relatively compact, and the texture becomes dense in longer lines, especially in mixed-case text. Numerals share the same chamfered, squared geometry, keeping headlines and numbering visually consistent. The lowercase retains the same angular vocabulary, which helps it feel cohesive but keeps it firmly in display territory rather than continuous reading.
