A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared counters and pronounced, rectangular serifs. Corners are consistently chamfered, creating an octagonal silhouette across many glyphs (notably round forms like O, C, G, and numerals), while strokes remain monolinear and rigid. Proportions feel compact with short extenders and a sturdy baseline presence; lowercase forms are simplified and strongly geometric, with single-storey a and g and a squarish, utilitarian rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same hard-edged construction, producing a uniform, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, badges, and logo work where bold, blocky forms are an asset. It also fits signage, sports/club identity, packaging, and merchandise graphics that want a rugged slab-serif presence rather than a refined editorial voice.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking sports lettering, varsity signage, and vintage display typography. Its angular cuts and thick slabs add a rugged, mechanical flavor that reads as confident and no-nonsense, with a hint of Americana/western poster energy.
This design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that translates the feel of cut, stamped, or varsity-style letterforms into a consistent digital alphabet. The chamfered geometry and thick slabs prioritize instant recognition and a strong silhouette over delicate detail.
The face maintains consistent chamfer logic across joins and terminals, which helps it stay cohesive at large sizes. Tight interior spaces in letters like e, a, s, and 8 suggest it benefits from generous sizing and spacing when used in dense settings.
