A compact, heavy slab-serif with squared, flat-cut terminals and a largely uniform stroke thickness. The design emphasizes sturdy rectangular forms, tight counters, and a strong vertical rhythm, with short, blunt serifs that read as integrated blocks rather than delicate finishing strokes. Curves are kept broad and controlled, while joins and ends stay crisp and angular, giving the letters a firm, stamped look that holds together well at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks where a compact, high-impact serif is needed. It works well on packaging and labels that benefit from a sturdy, traditional feel, and it can also support sports or collegiate-style titling when set with generous spacing.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a rugged, traditional flavor that can lean western or athletic depending on context. Its dense color and hard edges create an authoritative, no-nonsense voice suited to bold messaging and high-impact titling.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum punch in a narrow footprint, pairing bold slab serifs with squared terminals for a robust, highly legible display voice. It prioritizes strong structure and consistent texture to remain clear and commanding in short text and large-scale settings.
Numerals and capitals are especially weighty and emphatic, producing strong word shapes and clear silhouettes. The overall texture is dark and even, with minimal stroke modulation and a consistent, squared finish across letters and figures.
