A heavy, compact slab serif with squared proportions, rounded outer corners, and prominent rectangular slabs. Many glyphs feature deliberate internal cut-ins and notches that read like stencil bridges or ink-trap bite-outs, creating strong negative shapes across counters and joins. Strokes are broadly uniform in mass but articulated by sharp interior cutouts, giving a punched, segmented rhythm in text. The figures and capitals are especially blocky and geometric, with simplified bowls and tight apertures that emphasize solidity.
Best suited to display sizes where the stencil cut-ins and heavy slabs can read clearly—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and logo marks. It also works well for short, high-impact signage or thematic titling where a rugged, industrial or western voice is desired.
The font conveys a tough, workmanlike tone with a vintage poster energy. Its stencil-like interruptions and chunky slabs suggest utilitarian labeling, machinery, or frontier-style display lettering, balancing ruggedness with a playful, graphic punch.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, using slab serifs and purposeful cutouts to create a distinctive, industrial-stencil signature. The consistent notch motif appears intended to add character and texture while maintaining a strong, readable silhouette in display settings.
In longer lines the recurring notches create a distinctive horizontal texture that can become the dominant visual feature. The lowercase maintains a sturdy, compact footprint with simplified forms, while the numerals follow the same cutout logic for a cohesive, branded feel.
