A compact, heavy display slab with squared, unbracketed serifs and a largely even stroke weight. Letterforms are built from straight stems and broad, flat terminals with crisp right angles and occasional chamfered corners, producing a cut-from-a-block look. Counters are tight and geometric, and the overall rhythm is dense, with short ascenders/descenders and a strong horizontal emphasis in capitals. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same robust, squared construction, keeping texture consistent across mixed settings.
Best suited for display use such as headlines, posters, badges, logos, and bold packaging where a condensed, high-impact wordmark is needed. It also works well for signage and sports/club-style graphics where a sturdy slab serif texture helps text feel authoritative and punchy.
The font conveys a tough, workmanlike personality with a classic poster and woodtype flavor. Its hard edges and dense color give it an assertive, no-nonsense tone that can read as vintage Americana, athletic, or industrial depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, using heavy weight, square-cut serifs, and simplified geometry to create a strong, uniform texture. It prioritizes impact and a vintage-display feel over delicate detail, making it a practical choice for attention-grabbing typography.
At text sizes the dark, compact shapes create a strong typographic color; openings in letters like C, S, and e are relatively tight, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect legibility. The design’s squared serifs and blunt terminals make it especially impactful in short lines and stacked settings.
