A heavy, block-built slab serif with pronounced, rectangular terminals and a strongly squared footprint. Many joins and outer corners are chamfered into octagonal cuts, giving the letters a machined, notched look rather than smooth curves. Counters are compact and often angular, with a crisp, geometric rhythm across caps and lowercase. The texture is dense and display-oriented, with broad horizontals and sturdy verticals that read like carved or stamped letterforms.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging titles, team or club branding, and signage where the chunky slabs and faceted cuts can be appreciated. It also works well for retro-leaning designs that need a bold, stamped display voice rather than a neutral reading texture.
The face projects a rugged, no-nonsense tone with clear associations to Western posters, varsity athletics, and bold headline signage. Its sharp chamfers and chunky slabs add a tough, workwear character that feels assertive and slightly nostalgic. Overall it communicates strength and solidity more than refinement.
The design appears intended to modernize classic slab-and-woodtype energy with angular, chamfered detailing, producing a compact, powerful display texture. Its consistent notches and squared terminals suggest a goal of creating a rugged, “cut from a block” aesthetic that remains legible and cohesive across letters and numerals.
Curved letters (like C, G, O, S) are interpreted through faceted, polygonal geometry, and interior shapes tend to stay small relative to the outer mass, increasing darkness at text sizes. The numerals echo the same chiseled construction, maintaining a consistent silhouette suitable for titling and large-scale branding.
