A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with broad proportions and compact counters. The letterforms are built from thick, mostly straight strokes with rounded terminals and blunt, rectangular slab serifs that read as integrated blocks rather than delicate brackets. Curves (C, O, S, a, e) are full and smooth, while joins and corners tend to be softened, giving the face a dense, friendly silhouette despite its weight. Spacing and widths feel intentionally varied across glyphs, producing a lively rhythm in text lines; numerals match the stout, wide construction with prominent, open interior shapes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short phrases where its heavy slabs and wide stance can deliver impact. It also fits branding, labels, and packaging that benefit from a retro or western-leaning personality, and for signage where bold silhouettes need to stand out at a glance.
The tone is bold and attention-grabbing, evoking vintage signage and classic “old west” poster typography. Its chunky slabs and inflated curves create a confident, approachable voice that feels nostalgic and slightly humorous rather than formal.
The design appears intended as a bold display slab that references vintage poster and sign lettering while keeping forms rounded and friendly. Its variable widths and chunky serifs prioritize character and presence over neutral, long-form readability.
The face holds up as solid masses at large sizes, with distinctive slab cues visible even in rounded letters. In continuous text it reads as strongly stylized, with the width variation contributing to a hand-set, headline-like texture rather than a quiet editorial color.
