A heavy, compact serif with blocky proportions and squared, slab-like terminals. Strokes are largely monolinear with minimal contrast, and many joins and corners are faceted or chamfered, giving a chiseled, sign-painted feel. Capitals sit tall with firm horizontal serifs, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, workmanlike structure with short extenders and tight internal counters. Numerals follow the same angular construction, maintaining a consistent, punchy texture across lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branded display work where a bold, vintage voice is desired. It also fits labels, packaging, and signage that benefit from sturdy letterforms and strong presence, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone reads as vintage and utilitarian, evoking old signage, frontier-era display lettering, and industrial labeling. Its crisp, squared detailing and dense rhythm create a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels strong, traditional, and a bit rugged.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic slab-serif authority with a distinctive, angular finish—optimized for impact, recognizability, and a nostalgic sign-lettering atmosphere rather than delicate text reading.
The face builds a consistent dark color in text, with tight apertures and compact counters that favor display sizes. The faceted terminals and notched-looking details add character without introducing cursive motion, keeping the texture steady and emphatic.
