A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with broad proportions and sculpted, bracketed serifs that read as chunky wedges rather than thin slabs. Strokes are robust with noticeable contrast, and many joins and terminals swell into rounded, slightly soft corners, giving the letterforms a carved, inked feel. Counters are compact and the overall color is dense, while select shapes (notably in curves and diagonals) introduce subtle flare and taper that keeps the texture lively. The lowercase has a sturdy, oldstyle-like construction with prominent bowls and a single-storey a, contributing to an irregular, hand-tooled rhythm despite generally upright structure.
Best used for headlines, posters, and display typography where weight and personality are assets. It also suits packaging and branding that want a retro, sign-painterly impression, and works well in short bursts of text such as labels, titles, and calls to action.
The tone is bold and theatrical, leaning toward vintage showcard and old-West signage. Its chunky serifs and swelling curves feel playful and assertive, with a slightly rugged, handcrafted confidence suited to attention-grabbing settings.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a nostalgic slab-serif voice—combining dense black shapes, bracketed serifs, and subtly flared forms to evoke classic signage and show typography while remaining legible at display sizes.
Spacing appears generous and the silhouettes are strongly individualized, making words feel animated and bouncy at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the same weighty presence and sculpted serifs, supporting emphatic, headline-style typography.
