A heavy, blocky slab-serif with squared shoulders, sturdy stems, and wide, flat slabs that read almost like cut-in notches at terminals. The forms are broadly proportioned with a tall lowercase that keeps counters open even at large, dense weights. Curves are simplified and slightly squared-off in places, while joins and interior corners show small angular cut-ins that add a carved, ink-trap-like texture. Overall rhythm is bold and steady, with strong horizontal presence and minimal delicacy in the details.
This font suits short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and labels where bold forms need to read quickly. It also fits sports or event branding, product packaging, and retro-themed identities that benefit from slab-serif punch and a carved, display-driven texture.
The tone is assertive and nostalgic, evoking traditional sign painting, varsity lettering, and old-west display type. Its chunky slabs and carved corners give it a confident, workmanlike personality that feels energetic and a bit theatrical.
The design appears intended as a strong display slab that maximizes presence through heavy strokes, broad proportions, and distinctive notched terminals. The small angular cut-ins and squared geometry suggest a deliberate effort to add character and improve clarity in tight corners while keeping an unmistakably bold, vintage headline feel.
In the sample text, the weight and wide slabs create strong word shapes and high impact, but the density means it performs best with generous tracking and line spacing. Numerals and capitals maintain the same stout, squared attitude, keeping a consistent, poster-ready color across lines.
