A very heavy, block-constructed slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and sharply cut corners. Strokes are largely uniform, with subtle contrast introduced by the internal notches and chamfered joins that give many glyphs an octagonal, cut-out feel. Counters are compact and robust, and the overall silhouette favors straight edges and flat terminals over curves, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text. Uppercase forms are wide and steady, while lowercase keeps the same rigid geometry, resulting in a consistent, engineered rhythm across lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where its weight and squared details can carry from a distance. It also fits sports and team branding, labels, and packaging that want a sturdy, vintage-leaning presence and strong shapes for short bursts of text.
The design reads as rugged and assertive, with a workmanlike toughness that evokes vintage posters, athletic lettering, and frontier or workshop signage. Its squared serifs and chiseled corners add a traditional, craft-and-stamp character while staying bold and contemporary in impact.
Likely intended as a high-impact display slab that translates classic block and wood-type sensibilities into a clean, repeatable system. The consistent square serifs and chamfered corners suggest a focus on strong silhouettes and a distinctive stamped or carved texture in large-size typography.
The numerals match the same chamfered, slabbed construction, maintaining a cohesive set for display use. Tight internal spaces and heavy joins make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the cut corners and carved details remain clear.
