A very heavy display serif with angular, chamfered terminals and beveled corners that give many glyphs an octagonal, cut-from-block feel. Strokes are broad and largely even, with pronounced wedge-like serifs and squared-off joins that emphasize solidity over delicacy. Counters are tight and geometric, and the overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with rugged detailing showing in letters like A, S, and Z as well as the numerals. The lowercase mirrors the same carved geometry, maintaining consistent weight and hard-edged terminal treatment across the set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, badges, and signage where the faceted serifs and heavy stroke weight can be appreciated. It also fits branding contexts that aim for a heritage or rugged personality—sports identities, product packaging, and event promotions—rather than extended small-size reading.
The tone is bold and declarative, evoking traditional signage and heritage display lettering. Its angular serifs and carved facets suggest a craft or engraved aesthetic, giving it a nostalgic, old-world confidence with a hint of frontier or collegiate poster energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with a distinctive, chiseled serif construction, translating traditional display serifs into a more geometric, block-cut language. Its consistent weight and angular detailing prioritize recognizability and character in large-scale use.
In text settings the dense color and tight interior spaces create strong impact, while the sharp notches and chamfers stay visually prominent at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same blocky, faceted logic, making them feel suited to scoreboards, labels, and headline-centric compositions.
