A very heavy, all-caps-forward serif display with squared silhouettes and sharply chamfered corners. Strokes stay essentially even in thickness while terminals and joins are formed by angled cuts, producing a carved, faceted look. Serifs are short and wedge-like, often expressed as small triangular spurs rather than long brackets, and many forms show notches and clipped corners that tighten the counters. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with a tall x-height and minimal curvature, keeping the overall rhythm blocky and emphatic; numerals follow the same cut-corner construction for a uniform, sign-ready texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, badges, and logotypes where the notched, beveled construction can be appreciated. It also fits sports and team-style branding, product packaging, and signage that benefits from a sturdy, vintage display voice.
The letterforms project a bold, no-nonsense tone with strong heritage cues—part Western poster, part old athletic/collegiate headline. The chiseled details and squared massing add a rugged, workmanlike character that feels confident and a bit theatrical.
The design appears intended as a bold decorative serif for attention-grabbing display typography, using consistent chamfered geometry and wedge serifs to evoke engraved or stamped lettering. Its compact counters and blocky rhythm prioritize presence and personality over long-form readability.
The faceting creates distinctive internal shapes (especially in bowls and joints), which reads crisply at larger sizes but can make small-size text feel dense. The all-caps look is particularly cohesive, with consistent corner treatments that give lines of type a stamped, emblematic presence.
