A condensed slab-serif with bold, bracketed feet and strong vertical stress. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin contrast, with thin hairline joins and cut-in notches that create a slightly mechanical, stamped rhythm. Many forms feature bulb-like terminals and small spurs that add texture at corners and along stems, while bowls are compact and tightly enclosed. The overall silhouette feels crisp and punchy, with irregular detailing that makes individual letters visually distinctive.
Best suited to display settings where its distinctive slab details can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding marks, labels, and signage. It can work for short bursts of text or punchy taglines, but the intricate terminals and contrast will be most effective at larger sizes.
The tone leans Western and vintage, with a quirky, slightly theatrical edge. Its decorative notches and spurred terminals evoke old posters and vernacular signage, reading as rustic yet playful rather than strictly formal. The texture is assertive and attention-grabbing, giving text a characterful, eccentric voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic slab-serif structure with intentionally unconventional cuts, spurs, and bulb terminals, creating a decorative, attention-seeking texture while retaining a readable, upright skeleton. It aims to convey a vintage, Western-leaning personality suited to bold graphic applications.
In continuous text the dense spacing and busy internal detailing create a strong pattern, especially in rounded letters and in multi-stem forms like M and W. Numerals share the same slabbed, cut-in treatment, maintaining a consistent, poster-like color across mixed alphanumerics.
