A heavy, compact slab serif with squared proportions and pronounced, blocky terminals. Strokes stay largely even, with a crisp, cut-in quality where joints and counters meet, giving many letters a subtly notched, almost stencil-like construction. Serifs read as short, squared slabs with minimal bracketing, reinforcing a rigid, engineered silhouette. Counters are tight and geometric, and the overall rhythm favors dense, impactful shapes over delicate detail.
Best suited to display applications where weight and compactness are assets—posters, headlines, and large-format signage. It can also work well for sports or team branding, bold packaging, and labels where an industrial or Western-leaning personality helps the message land quickly.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking signage, workwear, and classic poster lettering. Its squared slabs and notched details also suggest a vintage Western or collegiate flavor, delivering a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as strong and straightforward.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum impact in a tight footprint, combining slab serif sturdiness with sharpened, notched detailing for a distinctive, poster-ready identity. The design prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent texture for attention-grabbing, high-contrast layouts.
The numerals and capitals feel especially monolithic, producing strong color in headlines. Lowercase forms retain the same blocky logic, creating a consistent texture that stays punchy at display sizes while becoming visually dense in longer settings.
