A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared-off terminals and broad, sturdy serifs that read as flat and architectural. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, with minimal modulation and crisp interior cut-ins that create a carved, stencil-like rhythm in some letters. Counters are relatively small and rectangular, giving the face a dense, poster-friendly color, while the overall proportions stay upright and compact with strong vertical emphasis. The numerals match the same blunt geometry, producing a consistent, no-nonsense texture across lines of text.
Best suited to display roles where impact matters: posters, large headlines, bold editorial callouts, and packaging or label design. It also fits wayfinding and signage where a rugged, industrial or Western flavor is desired, and can support sports or team-style branding that benefits from a compact, punchy slab serif.
The tone is bold and declarative, evoking vintage signage, workwear labeling, and old-style display typography. Its squared slabs and dense shapes feel rugged and mechanical, with a subtle Western and athletic headline energy that adds punch and confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a squared slab-serif structure that stays highly legible at display sizes. Its geometry and dense counters suggest a focus on durable, sign-painting and letterpress-inspired forms that project strength and tradition while remaining clean and systematic.
At larger sizes the sharp corners and deep notches become a defining personality feature, while in longer text the dense counters can make it feel intentionally heavyweight and attention-seeking. The design maintains a consistent, disciplined rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a strong editorial or branding voice.
