A heavy, high-contrast slab serif with a distinctly angular, octagonal construction. Stems are straight and sturdy, with chamfered corners that create a faceted, cut-in look, while serifs read as blunt slabs with occasional wedge-like joins. Counters are compact and geometric, and curves are largely rationalized into short flats and angles, giving round letters a squarish silhouette. Lowercase forms follow the same carved geometry, with a sturdy two-storey “a,” a narrow-shouldered “r,” and a compact “e,” producing a dense, rhythmic texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where weight and geometry can carry the message—posters, headlines, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and bold branding marks. It can also work well on packaging and labels that want a heritage or industrial flavor, especially at medium to large sizes where the faceted details stay crisp.
The overall tone feels rugged and emphatic, evoking vintage signage, frontier display lettering, and utilitarian print. Its faceted corners and strong verticals give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as traditional yet bold, with a slightly ornamental, badge-like crispness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a carved, geometric slab-serif language—combining sturdy letterpress-like mass with sharply chamfered corners for a distinctive, vintage display presence.
Capital forms appear especially monolithic and sign-like, while the lowercase remains firmly in a display tradition with simplified joins and tight apertures. Numerals are similarly angular and sturdy, designed to hold up as prominent figures in headlines and labels.
