A heavy, slab-serif display face built from stout verticals and broad horizontals, with squared-off, lightly chamfered corners that create an octagonal, notched silhouette. Serifs are thick and rectangular, merging firmly into stems for a compact, rugged texture. Counters are relatively tight and shapes favor straight segments over curves, giving rounds like C, O, and G a faceted feel. Spacing is steady and the overall rhythm is dense, optimized for strong word shapes at larger sizes.
Best suited for posters, headlines, signage, and branding where impact and durability are the priority. It also works well on packaging and label-style designs that benefit from a vintage or workmanlike voice. For longer passages, it’s most effective in short bursts such as subheads, pull quotes, and titling.
The design projects a tough, practical attitude with a distinctly American sign-and-poster flavor. Its faceted slabs and strong stance read as confident and no-nonsense, evoking workwear labels, athletic lettering, and old storefront typography. The tone is bold and attention-grabbing rather than refined or delicate.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with minimal ornament, using slab serifs and chamfered geometry to create a rugged, easily recognized texture. Its consistent, blocky construction suggests an emphasis on legibility at display sizes and a strong, heritage-leaning personality.
The uppercase set feels particularly emphatic and uniform, while the lowercase maintains the same angular construction and heavy terminals for consistent color in mixed-case text. Numerals follow the same squared, cut-corner logic, helping headings and short UI-style labels stay visually cohesive.
