A heavy, condensed slab-serif with squared, flat-ended strokes and broad, rectangular serifs. Corners are consistently chamfered, giving the outlines a faceted, cut-from-metal look rather than smooth curves. The letterforms are built from robust verticals and simplified bowls, creating a compact rhythm with tight interior counters and strong silhouette clarity. Numerals and lowercase follow the same sturdy construction, with minimal stroke modulation and a distinctly rectangular, display-driven geometry.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence is needed: posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, labels, and brand marks that want a rugged, traditional voice. It also works well for sports- or venue-style typography and heritage-themed packaging where blunt slabs and compact proportions help maintain impact from a distance.
The font carries a classic poster and woodtype flavor, blending a frontier/western attitude with a utilitarian, industrial toughness. Its blunt slabs and clipped corners feel confident and no-nonsense, lending a nostalgic yet forceful tone that reads as bold signage rather than delicate text typography.
The design appears intended to echo bold slab-serif display traditions—especially poster and woodtype-inspired forms—while using chamfered corners and square terminals to emphasize strength, clarity, and a crafted, vintage character.
The faceted corners appear across both uppercase and lowercase, acting as a unifying motif that adds texture at large sizes. The density of black shape and compact spacing make it particularly impactful in short bursts, while longer lines can feel visually weighty.
