A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared proportions and compact counters. The strokes end in broad, rectangular slabs, while many joins and terminals show sharp notches/ink-trap cuts that create a stamped, chiseled feel. Curves are minimized and often squared off (notably in bowls and rounded letters), producing a geometric, poster-ready silhouette. Spacing appears sturdy and even in all-caps, with lowercase designed to match the same chunky, constructed rhythm.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, labels, and bold branding where its slabbed terminals and notched joins can carry the visual identity. It also works well for signage-style applications and packaging that benefit from a rugged, high-impact wordshape.
The tone is bold and unmistakably “frontier poster” meets workshop signage: tough, emphatic, and slightly vintage. The notched detailing adds a mechanical, hard-wearing character that feels utilitarian and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a vintage slab-serif voice, combining broad rectangular serifs with purposeful notch cuts to improve separation at joins and add a distinctive, crafted texture. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a compact, sign-painter/poster rhythm over delicate detail.
The cut-in notches are a defining motif and become more apparent at larger sizes, where they read as intentional shaping rather than roughness. Numerals follow the same squared, slabbed construction for a consistent display palette across letters and figures.
