A heavy, angular serif design built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners. The letterforms use squared bowls and counters with frequent notches and clipped terminals, producing a faceted, cut-from-metal look. Serifs are compact and wedge-like rather than broad slabs, and the overall rhythm is dense with minimal curvature; round shapes such as O/Q are rendered as octagonal forms. Numerals follow the same block construction, with squared apertures and strong, rectilinear silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where strong silhouettes matter: sports and team identity, event posters, product packaging, labels, and bold signage. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the tight, angular counters make it most effective at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys a bold, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly traditional, display-forward character. Its notched geometry and hard edges evoke signage and emblem lettering, reading as rugged, assertive, and slightly nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority through squared construction, notched terminals, and compact serifs that suggest carved, stamped, or engraved lettering. Its unified, faceted geometry prioritizes emblematic impact and a heritage-leaning display feel.
Uppercase shows a poster-like presence with broad, stable proportions, while lowercase retains the same squared construction and tight apertures for a unified texture in text. The consistent use of chamfers and interior right angles creates strong patterning, especially in dense lines, and the design favors impact over softness or delicacy.
