A chunky, all-caps-forward slab serif with heavy rectangular stems and broad, block-like serifs. The letterforms are built from mostly straight segments with slightly faceted corners and small notches that create a cut-out, carved look. Curves are minimized into angular arcs, and the overall silhouette has a subtly uneven, hand-hewn rhythm despite consistent stroke weight. Lowercase follows the same squared construction, with compact counters and simplified shapes that read more like sturdy blocks than calligraphic forms.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings like posters, headlines, badges, logos, and packaging where its bold slabs and carved texture can do the heavy lifting. It can work for themed signage and event graphics, but is less appropriate for small-size editorial reading due to its dense counters and novelty rhythm.
The tone is bold and attention-grabbing with a show-poster energy. Its rugged edges and carved geometry evoke a vintage display feeling—part western woodtype, part circus/novelty headline—more playful than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a stylized, woodcut-like slab structure, borrowing from vintage display lettering traditions. Its faceted terminals and slight irregularity suggest it is meant to feel hand-carved and characterful rather than neutral or purely geometric.
The numerals are wide and sturdy with squared apertures and flat-ended terminals, matching the chiseled feel of the letters. Tight interior spaces and strong slabs make it visually dense; it holds its character best when given room in tracking and line spacing, especially in longer lines of text.
