A sturdy slab-serif display face with broad, blocky proportions and crisp, squared geometry. The strokes are built as solid forms that are visually split by a consistent inner inline, creating a carved, sign-painter-like highlight running through stems and bowls. Serifs are heavy and bracketless, with slightly chamfered corners and occasional stepped terminals that reinforce a machined, architectural feel. Counters tend toward squarish shapes, and the overall rhythm is compact and emphatic, reading best at medium to large sizes where the inline detail stays clear.
Well suited to sports identities, school or club marks, event posters, merchandise graphics, and bold packaging where a classic, assertive voice is needed. It also works effectively for signage and title treatments that benefit from strong silhouettes and the decorative inline accent.
The inline treatment and heavyweight slabs evoke classic varsity lettering, vintage athletic branding, and old West/industrial poster typography. It feels confident and ceremonial—designed to project tradition, competition, and a bold sense of place.
The design appears intended to modernize traditional slab-serif display lettering by adding a carved inline highlight for depth and distinction, while keeping letterforms robust, legible, and emblematic for branding-led applications.
The inline cut reads as a uniform secondary stroke rather than a delicate hairline, giving the face a two-tone, engraved effect even in single-color use. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-off construction, helping the font maintain a cohesive, emblem-like presence across headings and short bursts of text.
