A heavy, block-based slab serif with chunky rectangular stems and broad, squared-off terminals. Corners are subtly rounded and many joins show small notches and step-like cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like, carved effect. Counters are generally small and squared, with consistent internal geometry across capitals and lowercase. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with single-storey forms where expected and pronounced, uniform feet and caps that emphasize a strong horizontal rhythm. Numerals match the alphabet in mass and squareness, maintaining the same dense, poster-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold promotional copy where its chunky slabs and carved details can be appreciated. It also fits sports or club-style branding, product packaging, and signage that benefits from a strong, traditional display voice. For comfortable reading, it performs best at larger sizes with generous spacing to prevent counters from closing up.
The overall tone feels rugged and assertive, with a distinctly Americana/Western and collegiate display energy. Its dense, carved details and big slabs suggest tradition and toughness, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than sharp or mechanical. The texture reads like stamped lettering or classic signage—confident, loud, and attention-seeking.
This design appears intended as a characterful display slab that evokes classic American signage and athletic block lettering while adding distinctive notched detailing for memorability. The emphasis is on impact, strong silhouette, and a consistent, stamp-like texture across the set.
The font’s visual identity comes from the interplay of broad slabs and the recurring internal notches at corners and junctions, which adds character at larger sizes. Because counters are tight and the weight is substantial, texture can become quite dark in longer lines, especially where repeated verticals cluster.
