A heavy, flared serif with pronounced tapering from thick stems into wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed joins. The letterforms are broad and stable, with a tall x-height and compact internal counters that reinforce a dense, poster-ready color. Curves show subtle notches and scooped transitions at joins (notably in letters like C, S, and e), giving an ink-trap-like bite without becoming angular. Serifs and terminals read as sculpted wedges rather than flat slabs, and the overall rhythm alternates between sturdy verticals and bulbous, rounded bowls.
Best used as a display face for posters, headlines, and signage where its dense weight and sculpted terminals can read clearly. It also fits branding and packaging that aim for a vintage, handcrafted, or Western-leaning personality, especially in short phrases or logotype-style settings.
The tone is assertive and nostalgic, evoking old-style signage and showbill typography. Its exaggerated weight, wide stance, and carved-looking terminals feel bold, playful, and a little rugged—well suited to themes that want a frontier or retro Americana flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a nostalgic, carved-sign aesthetic: wide, heavy forms, flared terminals, and cut-in details that preserve character at large sizes while adding a distinctive, decorative bite.
Uppercase forms are especially blocky and emblematic, while lowercase maintains the same heavy sculpting with prominent terminals and rounded dots on i/j. Numerals follow the same chunky, flared construction, with distinctive interior cut-ins that help maintain separation at large sizes.
