A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared bowls and sharply cut corners. Strokes are largely uniform with stepped joins and flat terminals, while the serifs read as sturdy rectangular slabs with occasional angled cuts that give a chiseled, carved-in look. Counters are tight and geometric, and many curves are resolved as faceted arcs rather than smooth rounds, producing a strong, mechanical rhythm. Lowercase forms are tall and sturdy with a prominent x-height and minimal modulation, and the numerals share the same squared construction for a consistent, sign-ready texture.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, badges, and short impactful statements where its dense, squared forms can deliver presence. It also fits sports and team-style branding, rugged packaging, and signage that benefits from a strong, carved block aesthetic.
The overall tone is forceful and traditional, mixing a utilitarian, industrial feel with hints of old-school collegiate and western display lettering. Its angular cuts and dense silhouettes project toughness and confidence, making the voice feel declarative and attention-seeking rather than subtle.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact and solidity, using squared geometry, slab serifs, and faceted curves to create a sturdy, vintage-leaning display voice that remains highly consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The design relies on crisp cornering and small interior notches that resemble ink traps or stencil-like cut-ins, helping keep counters open in dense shapes. Spacing and color feel even in all-caps settings, while the faceted geometry keeps long lines looking rhythmic and punchy.
