A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with unbracketed, squared serifs and large, even stroke weight throughout. Letterforms favor compact counters and straight-sided bowls, with slightly rounded outer corners that soften the otherwise rigid geometry. Curves (C, O, S) are built from chunky, flattened arcs, while verticals dominate the rhythm and give the face a strongly anchored, poster-like presence. The lowercase maintains the same sturdy structure, with a single-storey a and g and broad, blunt terminals that reinforce the industrial feel.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, apparel graphics, sports branding, and bold packaging where strong silhouettes carry the message. It can also work for signage and short pull quotes, particularly when set large and with extra spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is bold, workmanlike, and no-nonsense, evoking vintage athletic lettering, western/railroad signage, and utilitarian print. Its dense silhouettes and squared details project strength and directness, reading as assertive and slightly nostalgic rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a solid slab-serif structure and compact, high-ink letterforms, prioritizing sturdiness and recognizability over finesse. It aims for a classic, heritage display voice that feels at home in bold editorial and branding contexts.
At text sizes the heavy weight and tight internal spaces make it most effective when given breathing room via generous tracking and leading. The numerals share the same squared, slab-driven construction and feel cohesive in headings and display settings.
