A very heavy, upright serif with compact, blocky letterforms and subtly flared, bracketed terminals. Strokes stay largely uniform, with squared interiors and rounded outer corners that create a sturdy, cut-from-solid rhythm. Several joins and counters show small notches and scooped transitions, giving an ink-trap or stamped-metal feel rather than a smooth book-serf construction. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and tight apertures that emphasize density and impact.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and storefront-style signage where strong silhouettes and a bold texture are desirable. It can also work for sports or event branding, album artwork, and packaging that leans on a tough, retro-industrial voice. For long passages, its dense counters and heavy color will generally be more effective in short bursts than extended reading.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, evoking vintage signage, athletic lettering, and old-west display printing. Its sculpted corners and notched joins add a rugged, mechanical personality that reads as confident and slightly playful at large sizes. The texture feels loud and poster-ready rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, vintage-leaning serif construction—mixing flared terminals and squared geometry with small notches that suggest practical printing or sign-cutting influences. Its goal is recognizability and attitude in large-scale typography rather than understated text performance.
The figures are wide and emphatic, matching the type’s squared geometry and heavy presence. At smaller sizes the tight counters and internal notches may fill in, while at headline sizes those details become part of the character. The font’s strong silhouette and compact spacing tendency support short, high-impact lines of text.
