A heavy, block-built slab serif with compact, squared forms and rounded internal curves. Strokes are broadly uniform with noticeable thick–thin behavior at joins and counters, and the serifs read as chunky, rectangular slabs with little to no bracketing. Many joins feature sharp, triangular cut-ins and notch-like details that create a carved or die-cut texture, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. Overall spacing and sidebearings feel generous, giving the letters a sturdy, billboard-ready rhythm.
Best suited to large sizes where its notches, slab ends, and heavy silhouettes can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, storefront signage, labels, and bold brand marks. It can work for short bursts of display copy, but the dense texture is likely to feel heavy in long passages.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with a frontier/woodtype flavor and a touch of industrial signage. Its notched details add a rugged, machined character that feels energetic rather than refined.
This design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a vintage slab-serif voice, combining woodtype-inspired massing with cut-in details that improve separation and add character in tight, dark settings.
Uppercase forms are especially monumental and geometric, while the lowercase keeps the same mass and slab logic, producing strong color in paragraphs. The numerals match the same chunky construction, with rounded bowls and blunt terminals that stay consistent with the caps.
