A heavy, block-built slab serif with compact, squared proportions and prominent bracketless slabs. Strokes are broadly even with subtle modulation, while corners are frequently chamfered and notched, creating faceted joins and crisp internal angles. Counters tend to be small and squarish, and curves are rendered with straightened segments for a cut-from-solid feel. Overall spacing reads sturdy and slightly tight, supporting dense, high-impact setting.
Best suited to display work such as posters, headlines, labels, and signage where the bold slabs and angular detailing can read clearly. It also fits branding for heritage, outdoor, craft, or sports contexts that benefit from a tough, stamped look.
The face conveys a rugged, workmanlike tone with strong Western and industrial overtones. Its sharp chamfers and weighty slabs give it a poster-ready confidence that feels vintage and utilitarian rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a carved, slab-serif voice—combining sturdy proportions and distinctive chamfered detailing to evoke vintage signage and frontier-inspired typography.
The uppercase and figures emphasize a carved, sign-painting geometry, with octagonal-like rounds and distinctive cut-ins that add texture at display sizes. The lowercase maintains the same faceted construction, helping mixed-case text keep a consistent, blocky rhythm.
