A heavy, slab-serif display face with strongly squared, chamfered contours and frequent angular notches that give many strokes an octagonal silhouette. Stems are blocky and vertically emphasized, with flat terminals and thick, bracketless slab feet and caps that read like built-in bars. Counters tend to be tight and geometric, and joins are crisp, producing a rigid, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps the same carved, angular construction with sturdy ascenders and simplified bowls.
Best suited to large-scale typography where its angular slabs and notched details can be appreciated—posters, titles, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and brand marks. It also works well on packaging and labels that aim for a vintage or workshop aesthetic, especially in short words and numerals.
The overall tone feels assertive and old-fashioned, blending a frontier poster sensibility with a machined, industrial edge. Its sharp chamfers and stamped-looking slabs suggest heritage signage, team marks, and utilitarian labeling rather than refined text typography.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a carved, chamfered slab structure that evokes historical display lettering and sign painting while maintaining a consistent, geometric construction across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
The design relies on consistent chamfer angles across corners and interior cut-ins, which creates a distinctive sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same octagonal, badge-like logic, aligning well with the uppercase for headline settings.
