A heavy, block-built slab display with octagonal construction and aggressively chamfered corners. Strokes are mostly straight and planar, with clear wedge-like slab terminals that read as carved or notched. Counters are squarish and compact, apertures are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is dense and emphatic. Lowercase forms retain a sturdy, rectilinear structure and a tall x-height feel, while figures are similarly angular and uniform in weight, producing a strong, stamp-like texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format branding where its angular slabs and dense color can carry impact. It also fits sports/collegiate marks, event promotions, labels, and signage that benefit from a rugged, vintage display aesthetic.
The style evokes old-west poster lettering and collegiate/athletic signage, with an assertive, no-nonsense voice. Its sharp facets and sturdy slabs suggest toughness and tradition, leaning toward rugged, nostalgic display energy rather than refined editorial tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a faceted, woodtype-inspired slab structure, emphasizing strong silhouettes and a consistent chamfered vocabulary. It prioritizes recognizability and graphic presence in display settings over delicate detail.
The repeated corner cuts and notches create a consistent faceted motif across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping the font feel cohesive at large sizes. In paragraph settings the dark color and tight counters can build strong visual mass, making spacing and size important for comfortable reading.
