A heavy display serif with very broad proportions, rounded corners, and flattened curves that create a compact, blocky silhouette. Strokes are low-contrast and largely monolinear, with frequent notches and inset corners that read like ink-trap cut-ins or chiseled counters. Serifs and terminals are short and flared, often forming forked or spurred shapes that add bite at the ends of stems and arms. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangular forms, giving the face a cohesive, engineered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where the wide stance and decorative spurs can be appreciated at display sizes. It works well for logotypes, packaging, signage, and event graphics that want a retro or Western-leaning flavor with modern, rounded block geometry.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, mixing a vintage sign-painting/Western poster feel with a slightly sporty, arcade-like solidity. Its spurs and cut-ins add character and motion, making it feel confident, a bit cheeky, and strongly display-oriented rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a wide footprint and memorable terminal detailing, borrowing cues from vintage display lettering while maintaining a consistent, sturdy construction for repeatable branding use.
In text settings the dense, wide letterforms create a strong horizontal banding effect, and the internal notches become a prominent texture at larger sizes. The distinctive terminals are a key identity feature, so the face reads most clearly when given generous size and spacing.
