A heavy, wide display serif with blocky proportions and sharply chamfered corners. Strokes are robust with modest contrast, and many terminals end in small forked or spurred details that create a carved, ornamental silhouette. Counters are compact and geometric, while the overall rhythm stays steady and rectangular, giving the letters a strong, stamped presence. Numerals follow the same faceted, notched construction and read as sturdy, sign-like figures.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short emphatic lines where its carved details remain visible. It also fits logos, badges, and packaging that want a vintage or Western-leaning voice, especially in high-contrast black-on-light treatments.
The tone is bold and extroverted, with a distinctly vintage, poster-driven character. Its spurred details and chiseled geometry evoke old-time signage and team or club branding, projecting confidence and a bit of theatrical flair.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a decorative serif structure—combining a broad, blocky skeleton with spurred terminals and chiseled corners to suggest heritage signage and bold branding.
The design relies on hard angles, clipped joins, and internal notches to create texture at text sizes, making it feel more like a display face than a continuous-reading text serif. The wide stance and dense color can quickly dominate a layout, so it benefits from generous spacing and strong hierarchy.
