A heavy, block-driven slab serif with squared proportions and prominent, rectangular serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast and frequent chamfered corners, producing a faceted silhouette that reads like carved or stamped letterforms. Counters are compact and angular, with occasional notches and sharp interior cuts that create a slightly stencil-like rhythm. The lowercase carries the same chunky structure, with a sturdy, upright stance and short-looking joins that keep texture dense in text.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where its heavy slabs and faceted corners can read clearly and convey attitude. It works well for posters, branding marks, team or club-style graphics, and packaging that aims for a vintage, rugged, or Americana-leaning voice. In longer text, it will create a dense, emphatic texture, making it more appropriate for brief callouts than extended reading.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, evoking Western wood-type, workwear signage, and collegiate display lettering. Its sharp cuts and rugged slabs add a utilitarian, hard-working character that feels vintage and emphatic rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif foundation, enhanced by chamfered cuts and compact counters to produce a carved, vintage display look. It prioritizes bold presence and recognizable silhouettes over softness or fine detail.
The numerals and capitals appear especially geometric and tightly enclosed, giving strong, high-contrast silhouettes at display sizes. The repeated chamfers and small interior cut-ins help prevent dark spots in heavy strokes and add a crafted, mechanical feel.
