A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes read largely even in weight, with chunky, bracketed slabs and frequent wedge-like notches that create an ink-trap feel at joins and in corners. The letterforms emphasize horizontal mass—especially in E, F, T, and Z—while rounded shapes (O, C, G, e) stay wide and tightly apertured. Lowercase shows sturdy, single-storey a and g, a strong ball/teardrop i-dot, and a descender on j that reinforces the forward motion; figures are equally blocky and headline-oriented.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as headlines, team or event branding, posters, and packaging where a strong, forward-leaning presence is desirable. It can also work for logo wordmarks and short promotional copy, especially when paired with a simpler companion for body text.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a vintage, poster-like confidence. Its slanted stance and carved-looking details suggest motion and impact, landing in a space that feels sporty and slightly western, with a touch of comic sign-painting attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis and motion through wide, slabbed shapes and a pronounced forward slant. The carved notches and tight apertures add character and improve corner clarity at large sizes, aiming for a distinctive, vintage-leaning display voice.
Spacing appears generous in display settings, letting the slabs and interior cut-ins remain distinct at large sizes. The forms prioritize silhouette and momentum over openness, so dense paragraphs may feel dark, while short lines and prominent words look punchy and stable.
