A heavy, block-built slab serif with squarish, unbracketed terminals and a strongly modular construction. Strokes keep a consistent thickness while corners and joins are frequently chamfered into octagonal forms, giving the outlines a faceted, stamped feel. Serifs read as broad rectangular caps and feet, and many internal counters are compact and geometric. Several letters introduce distinctive cut-ins and small notches that behave like ink traps or punched details, adding texture without breaking the overall solidity.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, large headlines, storefront or event signage, and bold branding where its chunky slabs and faceted details can be appreciated. It can also work on packaging and labels that aim for a vintage or rugged industrial flavor, especially with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The tone is bold and assertive, evoking vintage wood type and Western-influenced signage with an industrial, machine-made edge. Its angular detailing and chunky rhythm feel attention-grabbing and slightly rugged, with a playful retro grit rather than refined elegance.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that references traditional sign lettering and wood-type proportions, modernized through geometric chamfers and purposeful notch details. The goal seems to be maximum presence and a distinctive, textured silhouette while maintaining clear, upright letterforms.
Across the set, the design favors squared bowls and narrow apertures, which increases darkness and creates a strong, even color on the line. The faceting and notch details become more noticeable as size increases, while at smaller sizes the letterforms read primarily as dense, blocky slabs.
