A heavy, block-built slab serif with wide, rectangular serifs and tightly controlled curves. Letterforms rely on squared corners and flattened terminals, with rounded bowls cut in a geometric, almost stencil-like way. Several joins show sharp internal notches and small cut-ins that read like ink traps, giving counters a chiseled, engineered feel. The rhythm is dense and punchy, with short ascenders/descenders and strong horizontal emphasis in caps and numerals.
Best suited to display typography where impact is the priority: headlines, poster titling, and bold brand marks. It also works well for packaging, merchandise graphics, event promos, and sports or team-style identity systems where a sturdy, high-contrast silhouette is desirable.
The overall tone is tough and attention-grabbing, mixing a vintage poster sensibility with an industrial, utility-forward look. Its chunky serifs and cut-in detailing add a rugged, slightly western flavor while still feeling modern enough for bold branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a crafted, cut-out character—combining classic slab-serif signage cues with engineered notches that enhance personality and help keep dark areas from clogging in large, inky settings.
Capitals are particularly massive and signlike, while lowercase remains compact and sturdy, keeping word shapes tight. Numerals are rounded-rectangular and highly uniform, reinforcing a mechanical, display-first texture. The distinctive internal cut-ins can create lively texture at large sizes but may become busy when set too small.
