A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with pronounced rectangular slabs and frequent chamfered (octagonal) corner cuts. The design reads as largely monolinear, relying on strong vertical stems, broad shoulders, and compact interior counters to build a dense texture. Joins and terminals feel carved and notched, with small triangular/rectangular cut-ins that add an incised, almost stencil-adjacent flavor. Uppercase forms are squarish and commanding, while the lowercase keeps similarly sturdy proportions and a single-storey ‘a’, maintaining a consistent, mechanical rhythm across text.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of copy where its dense, blocky forms can project impact—posters, event graphics, and attention-grabbing signage. It also fits well in sports/college-style branding, labels, and packaging where a rugged, emblematic voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, evoking varsity athletics, rodeo posters, and vintage display printing. The chamfers and notches contribute a tough, workmanlike character that feels utilitarian and slightly nostalgic rather than sleek or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a carved, industrial finish—combining slab-serif structure with chamfered corners and notched details to produce a strong, heritage-leaning display face for branding and large-scale typography.
In running text the tight counters and heavy joins create a dark, compact color, making the face most comfortable at larger sizes where the interior openings and corner cuts stay legible. The numerals and capitals share the same squared, chiseled geometry, giving headings a cohesive, emblematic look.
