A chunky slab-serif design with heavy, blocklike stems and rounded counters that give the letters a soft, inflated silhouette. The serifs are bold and strongly bracketed, with distinctive notched cut-ins at joins and near serif attachments that create a stencil-like bite and add texture to straight strokes. Curves are broad and smooth (notably in C, O, S, and the numerals), while horizontal terminals and slabs stay emphatic and rectangular, producing a lively rhythm with clear top-and-bottom anchoring. Spacing feels generous for such a heavy weight, and the lowercase maintains sturdy proportions with simple, sturdy forms and prominent dots on i/j.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and branding where strong presence is needed. It performs well on posters, packaging, and signage, especially in retro-themed or craft-forward contexts. For longer passages, it works most comfortably at larger sizes where the notched details remain clear.
The overall tone reads as retro and showy, with a clear nod to classic display lettering used in posters and signage. The notched detailing adds a playful, slightly mischievous character—part western, part circus—without becoming illegible at typical headline sizes. Its heft and rounded interior shapes make it feel friendly and attention-seeking rather than formal.
The font appears designed as a bold display slab that combines robust, bracketed serifs with decorative notches to create a memorable, vintage-leaning voice. Its proportions and rounded counters aim to keep the heavy weight approachable while the cut-ins add distinctive personality for branding and titling.
The design’s signature is the recurring cut-in/notch motif at intersections and near slab joins, which gives the texture of punched or carved lettering. Numerals follow the same language with wide, rounded bowls and strong slabs, helping maintain consistency across text and figures.
