A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared forms and crisp chamfered corners that give many strokes an octagonal feel. Serifs are bold and largely unbracketed, with flat terminals and consistent stroke thickness throughout. Counters are tight and geometric, and the lowercase shows a simplified, sturdy construction with a prominent, tall x-height and compact apertures. Numerals match the same squared, cut-corner logic, keeping the overall color dense and even in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where a bold, traditional display voice is needed. It can also work for logotypes, labels, and packaging that want a sturdy, heritage-leaning presence, especially at medium to large sizes where the angular detailing stays clear.
The face conveys a rugged, assertive tone with clear references to vintage signage and old-west or frontier poster lettering. Its strong slabs and faceted corners feel confident and workmanlike, leaning more toward display impact than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly legible, high-impact slab serif with a faceted, sign-painter-inspired silhouette, balancing a classic display tradition with a clean, geometric finish.
In longer lines, the texture remains dark and uniform, with sharp joins and minimal internal whitespace contributing to a forceful typographic voice. The sample text suggests the design is optimized for headline sizes where the cut corners and slab details read as intentional character rather than crowding.
