A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes are thick with a clear, but not delicate, contrast; curves are generous and terminals often finish in small beaks or angled cuts that add bite. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is dense, with sturdy verticals and squared-off horizontals that read well at large sizes. The lowercase is similarly weighty, with rounded bowls and short, powerful joins that keep texture dark and even in text settings.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where weight and character are assets—posters, signage, branding marks, and packaging labels. It can also work for punchy subheads or pull quotes, but its dense texture and strong serifs make it less ideal for long, small-size body text.
The face projects a classic, old-style display energy—part Western/wood-type in spirit, part editorial headline in attitude. Its heavy slabs and beaked details feel assertive and slightly nostalgic, suggesting craftsmanship, tradition, and a no-nonsense tone.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a robust slab-serif structure and distinctive beaked detailing, aiming for a bold, heritage-leaning display voice. The wide stance and tight counters prioritize presence and memorability over delicacy.
The numerals are bold and compact, matching the type’s poster-like density. Diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) keep strong, chiseled joins, and the overall silhouette stays consistent across cases, supporting a cohesive headline color.
