A heavy, block-driven slab serif with squared-off terminals and prominent, chunky serifs. The glyphs use broad, rounded-rectangle bowls and tightly controlled counters, with small triangular and rectangular cut-ins at joins and corners that create a slightly stencil-like, notched texture. Curves are simplified and geometric, while horizontals and verticals keep a strong, even rhythm; the overall color is dense and emphatic. Uppercase forms are sturdy and compact, with lowercase maintaining a clear, straightforward structure and a sturdy baseline presence.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logotypes, storefront or event signage, and bold packaging callouts. It also fits sports or team-style branding where strong slabs and compact shapes help create a confident, durable mark.
The design reads as bold and assertive with a classic display flavor, evoking frontier posters, sports lettering, and mid-century signage. The crisp slabs and intentional notches add a rugged, workmanlike character that feels confident and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or editorial.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact through thick slabs, simplified geometry, and a distinctive notched detailing that adds character without sacrificing solidity. Its proportions and strong silhouettes suggest an intent toward display use where personality and presence are prioritized.
The numerals and caps have a strong, emblematic silhouette that holds up well at large sizes, while the small counters and interior apertures suggest it will look most comfortable where generous point sizes and spacing can preserve clarity. The repeated corner cut-ins provide a consistent signature detail across the set, giving the face a distinctive, slightly industrial bite.
