A very heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad, blocky forms and prominent rectangular serifs. Strokes are largely monoline, with corners treated as sharp cuts and chamfers that create an octagonal, machined silhouette. Counters are compact and squarish, apertures are tight, and the overall spacing feels sturdy and compact, emphasizing mass and impact over delicacy. The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, maintaining a strong forward rhythm.
Best suited to large sizes where its cut corners and heavy slabs read clearly: headlines, posters, sports and team branding, event graphics, and bold packaging. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or labels, where a dense, energetic texture is desired.
The tone is bold and forceful, evoking sports lettering, collegiate insignias, and rugged industrial signage. Its angular cuts and dense color give it a confident, no-nonsense presence with a distinctly retro, Americana-leaning character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, forward-leaning rhythm, combining slab-serif sturdiness with angular, engineered detailing. It prioritizes bold presence and quick recognition, aiming for an athletic, heritage-signage feel that holds up well in display settings.
Capitals are especially geometric and banner-ready, while the lowercase maintains the same slab-and-chamfer logic for a unified texture in longer lines. Numerals follow the same cut-corner treatment, keeping the set cohesive for scoreboards, pricing, and headline stats.
