A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with squarish, block-built letterforms and flat-ended terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and the corners are mostly crisp with occasional small notches and cut-ins that create a chiseled, stencil-like feel. The proportions are compact with broad shoulders and sturdy counters, while the serifs read as bold rectangular slabs that reinforce a strong horizontal base. Overall rhythm is dense and assertive, designed to hold its shape at large sizes where the internal cut details remain clear.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, team or event branding, and bold packaging titles where impact is the priority. It can also work for short logo lockups or merchandise graphics, especially when a rugged, athletic, or western-tinged voice is desired.
The tone is bold and energetic, recalling varsity athletics, rodeo posters, and mid-century display lettering. Its chunky slabs and forward slant give it a sense of speed and confidence, with a rugged, workmanlike edge that feels loud and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that combines sturdy, squared construction with a dynamic forward slant. The carved notches and compact proportions suggest an aim for a distinctive, poster-ready texture while maintaining strong silhouette legibility in large sizes.
In the sample text the weight and tight interior spaces make it most effective in short bursts, where the distinctive slab shapes and carved-in details read as texture rather than clutter. Numerals match the same blocky, squared construction for cohesive headline settings.
