A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared proportions and blunt, rectangular terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a compact internal rhythm. Corners are mostly crisp with occasional rounding in bowls, while slabs read as short, integrated extensions rather than delicate brackets. The overall texture is dark and even, with strong horizontals and verticals and slightly condensed apertures in letters like C, S, and e.
This font is best suited to display roles where impact matters: posters, large headlines, badges, and logo lockups. It can work well on packaging and labels that want a rugged or heritage feel, and it naturally fits sports, team, and event branding where sturdy slab forms read clearly at a distance. In text blocks it will feel forceful and dense, making it more appropriate for short bursts than long-form reading.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking classic poster lettering, workwear branding, and collegiate or team graphics. Its squared slabs and compact counters give it a rugged, utilitarian voice with a faint Western and vintage sign-painting flavor. The overall impression is confident, loud, and attention-seeking rather than delicate or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through thick strokes, squared slabs, and a compact, sign-like structure. It prioritizes bold silhouette and strong consistency across letters and numbers, aiming for reliable legibility at display sizes and a distinctly rugged, retro-leaning character.
Uppercase forms feel particularly architectural and stable, with broad shoulders and strong crossbars, while the lowercase maintains the same blocky construction and sturdy serifs. Numerals are similarly weighty and squared, designed to hold their shape in large, high-impact settings. The typeface’s strong geometry creates a consistent, punchy silhouette across mixed-case text.
