A heavyweight slab-serif with broad proportions and compact counters, built from squarish curves and flat terminals. The slabs feel blunt and slightly bracketed, and many joins show angular cut-ins that read like subtle ink traps or chiseled notches. Curves (C, O, S) are rounded but strongly squared-off in their interior shaping, keeping the overall texture dense and poster-ready. Spacing appears tight and color is very even at display sizes, with a sturdy baseline and minimal slant.
Best suited to display roles where strong presence is needed: posters, headlines, storefront/signage, labels, and bold brand marks. It also works for short subheads and pull quotes, though the dense shapes and tight counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking workwear signage, Western poster lettering, and vintage athletic titling. Its chunky forms and carved details add a rugged, hands-on feel that reads confident and slightly nostalgic rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif backbone, combining condensed interior spaces, broad slabs, and chiseled join details to create a tough, vintage-leaning display voice.
Uppercase forms are particularly massive and rectangular, while lowercase maintains a high, sturdy x-height that preserves impact in mixed-case settings. The numerals are similarly block-forward, with simplified interiors that prioritize punch over delicacy.
