A heavy, high-contrast slab serif with broad, squared-off serifs and mostly vertical stress. Strokes are thick and assertive, with crisp joins and tight interior counters that create a compact, punchy texture in text. The serifs read as sturdy and slightly bracketed, while terminals stay largely flat and rectangular, giving the letterforms a carved, sign-like solidity. Proportions lean wide in the round letters, and the overall rhythm is energetic rather than delicate, especially at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where impact is the priority: posters, headlines, badges, labels, and storefront-style signage. It also works well for brand marks and packaging that need a rugged, traditional voice, and for short text runs where its dense color and tight counters remain comfortable.
The tone is bold and declarative, evoking classic poster typography, workwear branding, and frontier or circus-era display printing. Its strong slabs and condensed counters give it a no-nonsense, authoritative presence that feels both nostalgic and practical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif voice: strong rectangles, emphatic serifs, and high-contrast shapes that hold up as bold typographic features. It balances ornamented vintage cues with a straightforward, industrial structure aimed at attention-first typography.
Uppercase forms feel especially monumental, while the lowercase maintains strong personality through pronounced slabs and compact apertures. Numerals are chunky and attention-grabbing, with the “2” and “3” showing distinctive curled terminals that add a slightly decorative, vintage flair without losing firmness.
