A compact, heavy display serif with slab-like feet and flat, squared terminals. Strokes are strongly weighted with crisp, chamfered corners that create a subtly faceted, “cut” silhouette rather than fully rounded joins. Counters are tight and largely rectangular, giving the letters a sturdy, engineered feel, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, upright structure with short extenders and clear, stout serifs. Overall spacing and rhythm favor solid, poster-ready word shapes with strong vertical emphasis and minimal flourish.
Best suited to headlines, posters, badges, and signage where strong presence and compact width are valuable. It also works well for branding and packaging that want a rugged, heritage or sport-inspired voice, especially in short phrases or logotype-style settings rather than long-form text.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking classic athletic lettering, workwear branding, and old-style signage. Its chiseled corners and compact heft read as rugged and dependable, with a hint of frontier or industrial nostalgia.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while keeping a disciplined, constructed look. By combining heavy slabs with faceted corners and tightly controlled counters, it aims for a durable, sign-painter/athletic aesthetic that remains highly legible at display sizes.
The chamfering is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping the design stay cohesive at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same squared, sturdy construction, supporting uniform, headline-driven settings.
