A heavy, block-built slab serif with flat, square-ended terminals and crisp right-angle geometry. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtly notched and beveled joins that give corners a chiseled, cut-in feel rather than smooth curves. Counters tend toward rectangular forms (notably in O and D), and the overall silhouette is compact and sturdy with firm horizontal slabs and strong verticals. Lowercase shows a relatively tall x-height and short extenders, reinforcing a dense, sign-like rhythm; the numerals follow the same squared construction with angular diagonals on 2, 4, 7 and a stacked, boxy 8.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and signage where high-impact, angular letterforms are desirable. It also fits sports branding and heritage-themed packaging, especially when a sturdy, vintage-leaning slab serif voice is needed.
The tone is confident and utilitarian, with a distinctly poster and sign-painting flavor. Its squared slabs and cut corners evoke vintage athletic lettering, Old West wood-type, and industrial stamping, giving text a blunt, authoritative presence.
The design appears intended to translate wood-type and stamped-letter aesthetics into a consistent digital display face, prioritizing strong silhouettes, squared counters, and robust slabs for maximum presence and easy recognition at a distance.
Spacing and shapes read best at display sizes where the interior notches and squared counters remain open. In longer lines, the tight, blocky texture creates a strong horizontal banding that can feel intentionally rugged and mechanical.
