A heavy, block-built serif with octagonal geometry and sharply clipped corners. Strokes are largely uniform, with small wedge-like serifs and frequent notches and chamfered terminals that create a carved, beveled impression. Counters are mostly rectangular and fairly tight, giving the face a compact, punchy texture; several letters include distinctive interior cut-ins and angular joins that emphasize the faceted construction. Overall spacing reads firm and controlled, producing dense, high-impact word shapes in both caps and lowercase.
Best used for large sizes where its notched details and beveled corners can be appreciated—posters, headlines, logos, team or collegiate branding, packaging labels, and bold signage. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but its dense, high-ink texture makes it less suitable for extended body text.
The style signals a bold, workmanlike attitude with a retro, poster-forward presence. Its angular cuts and sturdy proportions evoke a classic American display tone—part western, part athletic—suited to messaging that should feel tough, traditional, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a sturdy, chiseled serif structure—combining traditional letterforms with decorative angular cuts to create a distinctive, easily recognizable display voice.
Capitals dominate visually with wide, flat tops and crisp chamfers, while the lowercase echoes the same faceted logic with simplified, sturdy forms. Numerals follow the same chiseled template, maintaining consistent weight and angularity for cohesive headline setting.
