A heavy, wide display serif with a strongly carved, geometric build. Strokes are blocky with clipped corners and frequent octagonal facets, creating a chiseled, sign-like silhouette. Serifs are short and wedgey, often splitting into forked or spurred terminals that add bite at stroke ends and at mid-stem junctions. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, while curves are minimized or squarish, giving rounds like O and 0 a polygonal feel. The overall rhythm is dense and sturdy, with prominent horizontal mass and a consistently rugged edge treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short phrases where its carved details and broad proportions can read clearly. It works well for logotypes, packaging, labels, and sports or club branding that benefits from a rugged, retro display voice. Use with generous spacing and avoid small body sizes, as the dense shapes and compact counters can close up.
The letterforms evoke an Old West poster and varsity-lettering attitude at once—confident, brash, and attention-seeking. The faceted cuts and spurred terminals add a decorative toughness that feels nostalgic and handcrafted, leaning toward theatrical headline energy rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional ornamented serifs through a geometric, beveled construction, prioritizing impact and recognizability. Its forked/spurred terminals and clipped corners suggest a deliberate effort to create a distinctive, emblematic texture reminiscent of vintage signage and bold title typography.
Lowercase retains much of the same block-capital character, with minimal contrast between cases and a pronounced, sturdy texture in text lines. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, producing a cohesive, emblematic look well-suited to big sizes where the internal notches and spurs can be appreciated.
