A compact, heavy slab serif with squared-off terminals and a distinctly blocky silhouette. Strokes are thick and assertive with minimal modulation, giving letters a solid, stamped look. Serifs are prominent and rectangular, often integrated into the stems with crisp, flat ends that emphasize a strong horizontal/vertical rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are restrained, contributing to a dense, poster-ready texture; round forms (O, C, G, 0) read as squarish ovals rather than true circles.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, posters, and packaging where strong impact and a condensed footprint are useful. It also fits wayfinding, labels, and punchy promotional typography that benefits from a rugged, print-forward texture. In longer passages it reads as dense, so it performs most comfortably in short blocks, pull quotes, and display settings.
The tone is bold and workmanlike, evoking utilitarian signage and classic print display. Its compact proportions and hard-edged slabs create a confident, no-nonsense voice with a subtle vintage and frontier-flavored character.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual authority in a compact width, combining sturdy slab serifs with squared terminals for a hard-working, attention-grabbing display voice.
Uppercase forms feel particularly poster-centric, with sturdy shoulders and broad slabs that hold up in short words and headlines. Lowercase keeps the same squared construction, producing a consistent, tightly packed color in text samples that can feel intense at smaller sizes.
