A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with broad proportions and squared-off, chiseled geometry. Strokes are thick and assertive, with small triangular notches and chamfer-like cut-ins that create a rugged, stamped look while opening tight joins. Serifs read as short, rectangular slabs integrated into the mass rather than delicate appendages, and corners are frequently clipped to octagonal-like silhouettes. Counters are compact and angular, and overall spacing feels sturdy and deliberate, favoring impact over delicacy.
Best suited for large-scale display work such as posters, headlines, badges, and logotypes where its bold structure and rugged detailing can read clearly. It also fits sports or collegiate-style branding, product packaging, and signage that benefits from a tough, vintage-leaning presence. Use with generous size and careful tracking in longer lines to keep the dense shapes from feeling overly heavy.
The design projects a classic poster-and-jersey attitude: confident, loud, and a bit rustic. Its hard edges and carved details evoke Western signage and old-style wood type, while the broad, squared forms also nod to sports and institutional branding. The tone is energetic and attention-grabbing, with a playful toughness.
The font appears designed to maximize impact with a durable, sign-painter/wood-type sensibility, combining wide, blocky slabs with carved notches to add character and maintain separation in heavy strokes. Its cohesive, squared construction suggests a focus on bold branding and display typography with a nostalgic, workmanlike edge.
The internal cut-ins/notches give many letters a distinctive, machined rhythm that helps separate strokes in dense settings, especially in bold text. Numerals follow the same blocky construction, with similarly clipped corners and compact interiors, keeping the set cohesive across display applications.
