A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared serifs and gently bracketed joins. Strokes show clear, readable contrast without becoming delicate, and the overall color is dense and even in text. Counters are fairly open for the weight, with rounded interior forms on letters like O and e balancing the rectangular serif structure. Terminals are blunt and confident, and several joins and corners show subtle notches or chiseled shaping that adds a slightly engineered, stamped look.
Well suited to display settings where weight and presence are needed, such as headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks. The strong slab structure also works for short blocks of text, pull quotes, and signage where impact and clarity matter more than a light reading texture.
The face conveys a classic, workmanlike tone with a hint of Western and vintage poster lettering. Its strong slabs and compact, assertive shapes feel dependable and emphatic, lending a no-nonsense voice to headlines and branding. The subtle carved details keep it from feeling purely geometric, adding warmth and a touch of nostalgic character.
Likely designed to provide a bold, dependable slab-serif voice that references traditional wood-type and industrial printing while staying crisp and readable in contemporary layouts. The combination of heavy slabs, moderate contrast, and slightly chiseled detailing suggests an emphasis on characterful display typography with practical legibility.
Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains solid rhythm with prominent serifs and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals are robust and highly legible at display sizes, matching the overall squared-serif motif. In the sample text, the font maintains a consistent texture across words, with the heavy serifs contributing to a pronounced baseline and strong word shapes.
