A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with compact proportions and emphatic, rectangular serifs. Strokes are largely uniform, with crisp right angles softened by frequent chamfers and small corner cut-ins that create an octagonal, notched silhouette across many glyphs. Counters are tight and squarish, curves are minimized, and the overall rhythm feels sturdy and stamped, with slightly irregular, display-oriented widths from letter to letter.
Best suited to display settings where impact and personality matter: posters, event flyers, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, bold packaging labels, and short logotypes. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or section headers, but its dense, angular details make it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The letterforms evoke classic American display printing—part Wild West poster, part circus/barn signage—with a bold, no-nonsense presence. Its angular notches and chunky slabs give it a confident, slightly mischievous character that reads as retro and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a traditional slab-serif backbone, using chamfered corners and notched joins to suggest vintage woodtype and hand-cut signage aesthetics while staying clean and printable.
Uppercase forms feel especially architectural, while lowercase retains the same slabby construction, resulting in a cohesive, headline-first texture. Numerals follow the same chamfered geometry, reinforcing a consistent, sign-paint and woodtype-inspired tone.
