This typeface uses heavy, block-like letterforms with crisp, chamfered corners and wedge-like serifs that read as faceted rather than bracketed. Strokes are predominantly straight with minimal curvature, creating an octagonal silhouette on rounds like O and Q, and sharp terminals on diagonals such as V, W, and Y. Counters are relatively compact and rectangular, and the overall rhythm is sturdy and poster-oriented, with consistent, hard-edged detailing across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase follows the same architectural construction as the caps, with short joins and angular bowls, keeping the texture dense and emphatic in text settings.
Best suited for large-scale display use such as posters, event titles, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold packaging statements where the angular serif detailing can be appreciated. It also fits sports-leaning branding and heritage-themed designs that benefit from a sturdy, emphatic word shape.
The tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with a classic display flavor that evokes western posters, athletic signage, and industrial labeling. Its faceted serif treatment and squared geometry give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels traditional yet distinctly decorative.
The design appears intended to translate traditional serif structure into a rugged, geometric display style, emphasizing sharp corners, faceted serifs, and compact internal spaces for maximum impact in headlines and signage.
Numerals mirror the same chamfered construction, helping headlines feel cohesive when mixing letters and numbers. The strong verticals and clipped corners produce a uniform, stamp-like color that holds up especially well at large sizes and in short lines.
