A very heavy, upright display face built from broad, flat strokes and sharply chamfered corners. The letterforms feel carved and blocky, with slab-like feet and wedge-ended terminals that create an octagonal silhouette across rounds and bowls. Counters are relatively small and often squared off, and joins are crisp, giving the alphabet a sturdy, poster-friendly rhythm. Uppercase shapes are compact and emphatic, while the lowercase keeps the same hard-edged construction with single-storey forms and short extenders that maintain an overall dense texture in text.
Best suited to large sizes where its carved corners and heavy slabs can read clearly—posters, event flyers, storefront-style signage, and bold branding marks. It can also work for short, punchy packaging copy or labels where a vintage, wood-type feel is desired.
The design evokes classic American wood-type and show-poster lettering, projecting a bold, no-nonsense personality. Its angular cuts and chunky slabs read as confident and slightly rustic, with a hint of theatrical flair suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
Likely intended as a bold display font that channels historical slab/wood-type aesthetics while prioritizing impact and legibility at headline scale. The consistent chamfering and robust slab terminals suggest an emphasis on a cohesive, cut-from-a-block visual system for branding and poster work.
Round letters like O/C/G are noticeably faceted rather than smooth, and several characters show distinctive notched or stepped terminals that reinforce a hand-cut, woodblock impression. Numerals match the same squared, chiseled logic, keeping the set visually unified in large, graphic settings.
