A heavy, block-built slab serif with pronounced, squared serifs and subtly bracketed joins. Strokes are thick and confident with moderate internal contrast and large counters that keep forms readable at display sizes. The lowercase has a tall x-height and broad, rounded bowls (notably in a, e, o), while the uppercase leans more geometric and monumental with wide, flat terminals. Overall spacing and rhythm feel dense and forceful, producing a strong, ink-rich texture in text settings.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong slab serif voice is needed, such as packaging, labels, and storefront-style signage. It also fits sports-inspired or heritage-themed identities and any layout that benefits from dense, high-contrast impact at larger sizes.
The tone is assertive and old-school, with clear references to letterpress-era signage and western/heritage display typography. Its weight and slab detailing give it a dependable, workwear feel—confident, loud, and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif structure: big shapes, sturdy serifs, and a compact rhythm that reads as traditional and emphatic. It aims to evoke vintage signage and display typography while maintaining clear, bold letterforms for modern headline use.
Numerals and capitals read especially strong for headings, with squared shoulders and prominent slabs that create a distinctive silhouette. In paragraph-like sample text, the dark color builds quickly, making it best suited to short lines, tight slogans, and high-impact copy where bold presence is desirable.
