A heavy, block-driven serif with squarish, octagonal contours and frequent chamfered corners. Stems and bowls are built from broad, flat strokes with minimal contrast, while small bracketless serifs and inset notches create a cut-out, beveled impression at joins and terminals. Counters are compact and angular, and the overall texture is dense and emphatic, staying consistent from caps to lowercase and into the figures.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, team or event branding, and bold label or packaging work. It can also serve for short slogans and pull quotes where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable.
The tone reads tough and assertive, with a distinctly vintage display flavor. Its chiseled, sign-painted attitude suggests strength and tradition, leaning toward western and workwear aesthetics rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through a condensed set of rugged, faceted shapes, combining traditional serif cues with decorative, carved detailing for strong identity in display settings.
The font relies on hard geometry and corner treatments more than curves, producing a stamped or carved look. In text, the dark color and tight interior spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the angular details and notches remain clear.
