A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared proportions and broad, flat terminals. Strokes are uniformly thick with crisp, hard corners that are frequently chamfered, giving many glyphs an octagonal silhouette. The serifs read as sturdy rectangular slabs that integrate tightly into the stems, while internal counters are compact and angular. Overall spacing and letterforms feel dense and weight-forward, producing strong, punchy word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short punchy statements where mass and silhouette can do the work. It fits sports and team branding, bold packaging labels, event signage, and retro-inspired layouts that benefit from a sturdy slab presence. In longer text, it will be most effective in larger sizes or as emphasis due to its dense, heavy color.
The design conveys a rugged, no-nonsense tone with echoes of athletic lettering and frontier-era poster type. Its notched, cut-in details add a faint stencil/woodtype flavor that feels utilitarian and assertive rather than refined. The overall impression is bold, durable, and attention-grabbing.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact through solid slabs, squared geometry, and chamfered corners, borrowing cues from woodtype and athletic display traditions. The consistent, low-detail construction prioritizes legibility at a glance and strong branding shapes over delicate typographic nuance.
Uppercase forms are especially geometric and squared-off, while the lowercase maintains the same carved, angular logic, creating a consistent texture across mixed-case setting. Numerals match the same blocky construction, supporting cohesive headline systems.
