A compact, block-driven slab serif with heavy rectangular stems and crisp, chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette in rounds like C, O, and G. Serifs are short and squared, with flat terminals and minimal stroke modulation, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are disciplined, giving the face a strong vertical rhythm and a sturdy, built-up presence in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where strong structure and compact width help text hold its shape—headlines, posters, labels, and signage. It can also work for logotypes and badges where a tough, crafted feel is desirable, especially at medium to large sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is rugged and workmanlike, evoking utilitarian signage and heritage display lettering. Its sharp chamfers and emphatic slabs add a slightly western and collegiate edge, projecting confidence and toughness rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using slabbed terminals and chamfered geometry to create a robust, industrial-meets-heritage voice. Its consistent, squared construction prioritizes clarity and punch for prominent typographic applications.
Uppercase forms read especially geometric and architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same squared logic with compact bowls and firm, straight shoulders. Numerals follow the same squared-off construction for consistent impact in headlines and labeling.
