A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared proportions and prominent, flat terminals. Corners are consistently chamfered into octagonal facets, giving many glyphs a cut-corner silhouette and a crisp, engineered edge. Counters are compact and rectangular, with squared shoulders and short joins that keep the texture dense and uniform at display sizes. The lowercase follows the same sturdy logic with simplified, chunky forms, while numerals are equally angular and built for impact.
Best suited to display settings where weight and shape are meant to carry the message: posters, headlines, event and venue signage, team or club branding, badges, and packaging labels. It will be most effective in short phrases and large sizes where the chamfered detailing and squared counters remain clear.
The overall tone is rugged and confident, evoking vintage signage, collegiate sports lettering, and frontier-style display typography. Its faceted corners and emphatic slabs add a utilitarian, no-nonsense voice that reads as bold, nostalgic, and slightly industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif structure, using chamfered geometry to add a distinctive, emblematic look. It prioritizes impact and stylistic cohesion over delicate detailing, aiming for a strong, heritage-leaning display voice.
Straight-sided curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and 0) are treated as polygonal shapes rather than true rounds, which increases the geometric, badge-like feel. The rhythm is tight and dark, with strong horizontal baselines and consistent slab presence that helps the design hold together in short, emphatic words.
