A heavy, square-serifed slab with flat, rectangular terminals and tightly controlled curves. The forms lean on straight verticals and broad, squared shoulders, with rounded counters that are frequently boxed in by right-angled joins. Uppercase letters feel somewhat condensed and monolithic, while the lowercase has robust stems and compact apertures that keep the texture dark and even. Numerals match the typeface’s block-first logic, with wide, planar strokes and minimal internal delicacy.
Best suited to posters, headlines, signage, and branding where a bold, rugged slab presence is needed. It can work well on packaging and labels that want a vintage or industrial imprint, particularly when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking vintage signage and utilitarian lettering. Its sharp corners and chunky slabs create a confident, no-nonsense voice with a retro, frontier-adjacent flavor.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum graphic impact through blocky slabs, squared terminals, and condensed-looking capitals, channeling classic sign-painter and wood-type influences while keeping shapes consistent and highly legible at large sizes.
The design’s strong vertical emphasis and rectangular serifs produce a steady rhythm at display sizes, with distinctive, squared-off curves that give words a carved, stamp-like presence. Tight internal spaces and sturdy joins favor impact over airiness, especially in dense text.
