A heavy, block-built slab with chamfered corners that give many glyphs an octagonal silhouette. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with square-ended slabs and compact internal counters that stay open through strong, geometric carving. The design shows deliberate cut-ins and small notches at joins and corners, creating a subtly worn, stencil-like texture without breaking the letterforms apart. Spacing and widths vary across glyphs, producing a punchy, headline-driven rhythm that remains legible at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, storefront signage, and bold identity marks where the chunky slabs and chamfered geometry can read clearly. It also works well on packaging, labels, and editorial display settings that benefit from a rugged, vintage-leaning voice. For longer text, it’s most effective in short bursts—subheads, pull quotes, and title treatments—where its dense counters and strong texture don’t overwhelm.
The overall tone evokes classic Western and workwear lettering—confident, tough, and utilitarian. Its chiseled corners and rugged details suggest printed ephemera, signage, and team branding where impact matters more than refinement. The font feels bold and assertive, with a slightly distressed edge that adds grit and character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctly angular, slabbed construction and a crafted, slightly weathered finish. Its notched corners and carved joins add character while preserving sturdy letter shapes for attention-grabbing display use.
Capitals lean toward squarish forms with pronounced slabs, while the lowercase keeps a similarly blocky construction and minimal curves. Numerals follow the same angular logic, reinforcing a cohesive, display-oriented system. The carved notches function like built-in texture, adding visual interest that becomes more apparent as size increases.
