A heavy, block-built slab with squared serifs and prominent chamfered corners that give many strokes an octagonal silhouette. The design is strongly vertical and constructed, with thick stems, tight internal counters, and crisp, flat terminals that read like cut metal or stamped lettering. Uppercase forms are broad and commanding, while the lowercase keeps a tall, sturdy structure with minimal curvature and a pronounced, rectangular rhythm. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with simplified interiors and emphatic slabs that hold up well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where the chunky slabs and angular structure can deliver maximum impact. It works particularly well for sports identities, Western-leaning themes, and bold packaging that benefits from a sturdy, stamped look.
The overall tone is assertive and old-school, mixing a frontier or varsity poster feel with a utilitarian, industrial toughness. Its sharp cut-ins and squared slabs create a no-nonsense voice suited to bold statements rather than subtle text color.
The design appears intended to evoke classic display lettering traditions—especially woodtype and slab-based poster faces—while using consistent chamfers and squared terminals to create a cohesive, hard-edged texture in large settings.
The face relies on consistent corner notches and straight-sided curves (notably in rounded letters) to maintain a uniform, machined texture across words. Spacing appears designed for impact, with dense shapes and a strong, even baseline presence that amplifies contrast between black and white areas.
