A heavy, blocky slab-serif display face with wide proportions and an angular, chamfered construction. Strokes are mostly straight with squared curves and octagonal counters, plus pronounced bracketless slabs that give a poster-like footprint. A thin inline cut runs through the forms, creating a dimensional, engraved look and sharpening the already strong contrast between black mass and interior white details. Corners show small notches and stepped joins that add a slightly distressed, ink-trap-like texture rather than a perfectly smooth finish.
Best suited for large display settings where the inline carving and beveled geometry can be appreciated—posters, event titles, packaging labels, and bold signage. It also fits sports-themed marks and varsity-style branding, especially for short phrases, badges, and numeric-heavy applications like jerseys or scoreboard graphics.
The overall tone reads like vintage athletic lettering crossed with frontier-era signage—confident, tough, and attention-grabbing. The inline treatment adds a crafted, stamped/engraved feel that leans nostalgic and decorative rather than minimalist. It conveys a bold, competitive energy with a hint of old-time character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through wide, slabbed letterforms while using an inline cut to introduce depth and ornament. Its angular, chamfered skeleton suggests a deliberate nod to traditional wood-type and athletic block lettering, balancing decorative detail with a strong, readable silhouette.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same square-shouldered, slab-driven logic, keeping a consistent rhythm across text. The numerals follow the same chamfered geometry and inline carving, reinforcing a cohesive set for headlines and badges. At smaller sizes the inline and corner details may visually fill in, while at larger sizes the cut lines and beveled geometry become the main feature.
