A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared proportions and prominent, unbracketed serifs. Strokes are mostly straight and planar, with consistent thickness and crisp inside counters; corners are frequently chamfered to create a cut, faceted silhouette. The design emphasizes broad verticals and flat terminals, producing a dense, high-impact texture, while select letters introduce carved notches and step-like joins that reinforce the constructed, sign-painting feel. Numerals follow the same squared, chiseled logic, maintaining strong alignment and uniform color.
Best suited to headlines and short display lines where its dense weight and slab structure can read as intentional and bold. It works well for posters, sports or collegiate branding, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, vintage-leaning voice. Larger sizes help preserve the clarity of its tight counters and angular details.
The tone is assertive and traditional, evoking athletic lettering, old-style posters, and frontier or saloon signage. Its sharp chamfers and stout slabs communicate toughness and confidence, with a nostalgic, Americana-leaning character.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a structured, carved aesthetic, combining traditional slab-serif sturdiness with chamfered, sign-like detailing for memorable display typography.
The strong, squared counters and small internal apertures create a compact rhythm, especially in uppercase settings. In the sample text, the weight produces a solid, continuous band of black with clear word shapes, while the distinctive chamfering adds personality without relying on curves.
