This typeface is a heavy slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, block-like construction. Strokes are thick with noticeable contrast between main stems and the slab terminals, and the serifs read as bracketed and squared-off rather than hairline. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places, giving bowls and rounds a compact, punchy silhouette, while corners and joins feel subtly softened. Overall spacing and rhythm favor strong, poster-like lettershapes that stay clear at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short copy where high impact and strong silhouette matter—posters, signage, packaging, labels, and branding. It can also work for sports or team-style marks and editorial display settings, while extended reading at small sizes may feel heavy due to the dense color.
The tone is bold and declarative, evoking vintage workwear, frontier posters, and classic athletic or campus typography. Its weight and slab structure project reliability and physicality, with a friendly retro warmth rather than a delicate or refined mood.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident, attention-grabbing slab voice with retro, American vernacular cues—prioritizing bold presence, clear shapes, and a grounded baseline for display typography.
The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with short-ish extenders and a large, dark footprint, and the figures match the same chunky, display-forward color. The overall impression is cohesive and intentionally high-contrast-in-mass: strong stems paired with substantial slabs that emphasize a horizontal, grounded feel.
