A compact, heavy slab-serif with squared, flat terminals and abrupt joins. Stems are thick and largely uniform, while interior counters and occasional cut-ins create a high-ink, high-impact silhouette. Many letters show small notches and clipped corners that lend a slightly stencil-like, machined feel, especially where strokes meet or where bowls transition into stems. The lowercase is sturdy and broad-shouldered with a large x-height, and the numerals follow the same blocky, poster-oriented construction for consistent color in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and bold packaging where strong word shapes and a punchy texture are priorities. It can also work for logo marks and short brand phrases that benefit from a compact, slab-serif voice, especially in high-contrast layouts.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, mixing vintage display energy with an industrial, sign-painting toughness. Its strong slabs and compact geometry read as confident and no-nonsense, with a faint western/collegiate echo that feels traditional rather than ornate.
The design appears intended as a display slab that maximizes impact through dense strokes, squared terminals, and purposeful cut-ins that add character without becoming decorative. It aims to deliver a rugged, vintage-leaning presence that stays legible and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures in large sizes.
The dense black weight and tightened apertures make the design happiest when given room to breathe; at smaller sizes, the distinctive notches and narrow counters can visually merge. The rhythm is driven by vertical mass and squared serifs, producing a steady, emphatic texture across words and headlines.
