A sturdy slab-serif with squared, unbracketed serifs and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal, sign-painted silhouette. Stems are mostly straight and vertical, with modest stroke contrast and crisp joins that keep counters open and shapes legible. The uppercase set feels compact and engineered, while the lowercase introduces slightly more variation and a more typographic rhythm, yet maintains the same angular terminals and blocky feet throughout. Figures follow the same faceted construction, with angular curves and strong bases that read clearly in text.
Works best for headlines, posters, labels, and display settings where its chamfered details and slab weight can be appreciated. It also suits branding and packaging that aim for a sturdy, heritage-leaning or workwear feel, and it can be effective for short text in signage-style applications where clarity and presence matter.
The overall tone is rugged and institutional, blending an old-style print/shop sensibility with a western or collegiate sign aesthetic. Its sharp chamfers and solid slabs give it a disciplined, no-nonsense voice that can feel both vintage and industrial depending on context.
Likely intended as a bold, practical slab-serif with an angular, machined look that reads confidently in display typography. The consistent corner chamfers and strong slabs suggest a focus on durable letterforms that evoke traditional printing and signage while staying clean and systematic.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V, W, Y, and the diagonals in N) stay crisp and mechanical, reinforcing the faceted construction. The design leans on repeated flat terminals and consistent slab treatment to create a strong texture line-to-line, especially at larger sizes where the corner cuts become a key identifying feature.
