A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared-off terminals and chamfered corners that create an octagonal, cut-out silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as sturdy rectangular brackets rather than delicate finishing. Counters are relatively small and rectangular, with occasional notch-like joins (notably in letters like S and Z) that add a machined, stamped quality. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s architecture, staying stout and simplified with short extenders and a sturdy, poster-ready rhythm.
This design is well suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, and large-scale signage where its chunky slabs and chamfered corners remain crisp and distinctive. It also fits sports and team branding, label-style packaging, and merchandise graphics that benefit from a tough, high-impact voice. For longer text, it performs best in larger sizes and with ample spacing to avoid an overly solid color.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, evoking varsity lettering, Western poster typography, and rugged industrial labeling. Its hard corners and chunky slabs project strength and directness rather than refinement, making it feel energetic and attention-grabbing. The chamfered geometry adds a nostalgic, print-era flavor while keeping the voice modern and forceful.
The letterforms appear intentionally constructed to maximize impact and durability, using slab serifs and chamfered geometry to create a strong, repeatable silhouette. The design prioritizes bold presence and a traditional display vernacular—especially athletic and Western cues—over delicate detail, aiming for immediate recognition at a glance.
Digit forms follow the same chamfered, squared construction, and punctuation appears robust enough to hold up at display sizes. The texture in paragraphs is dense and dark, so it reads best with generous line spacing and in short bursts where the distinctive notches and slabs can be appreciated.
