A heavy, slanted slab-serif with compact, blocky forms and strongly bracketed slabs that read as carved, stencil-like shapes. The design mixes straight, squared geometry with softened corners and occasional notch-like cuts at joins, creating a punchy texture in text. Counters are generally small and rounded-rectangular, and terminals tend to finish with emphatic slabs that add a steady, rhythmic baseline. The overall color is dense and even, with subtle internal shaping that keeps large black areas from feeling overly static.
Best used for display settings where impact is the priority—posters, headline systems, sports or team branding, and bold packaging or label work. It can also serve in short bursts of text such as pull quotes or section headers, especially when a vintage or Western-leaning tone is desired.
The letterforms evoke classic poster and headline traditions—part Western display, part vintage athletic—and project a confident, high-impact voice. Its chunky slabs and angled stance add motion and swagger, giving it a spirited, attention-grabbing tone suited to bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a distinctive slab-serif silhouette, combining a lively slant with poster-grade weight for immediate legibility and personality. The bracketed slabs and subtle notches suggest a deliberate nod to traditional wood-type and athletic display letterforms while keeping a clean, contemporary consistency.
In the sample text, the strong slabs and tight counters create a distinctly stamped, headline-forward texture; spacing feels designed to hold together in big, dark word shapes. The notched/bracketed detailing becomes more apparent reopening joins and corners at larger sizes, adding character without turning into ornament.
