A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Stems and slabs feel strongly bracketed, with softened corners and a subtly sculpted, slightly condensed interior space that keeps letters sturdy at large sizes. Stroke contrast is present but secondary to mass: horizontals are a bit lighter than verticals, and the slabs read as thick, supportive terminals rather than delicate serifs. Curves are full and sturdy, and joins show mild notch/ink-trap-like shaping that helps maintain clarity where strokes meet.
Works best for posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging fronts, and signage where impact and distance legibility matter. The dense color and sturdy slabs also make it a strong choice for short subheads and callouts, while extended paragraphs may feel heavy unless generously spaced.
The tone is bold and declarative, with a vintage, poster-like confidence. Its chunky slabs and wide stance evoke classic American display lettering—part western, part collegiate—suited to punchy, high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, traditional display voice using oversized slabs, broad proportions, and softened geometry for a friendly-but-forceful presence in large-size applications.
The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s weight and structure, producing a uniform, emphatic texture in running lines. Numerals are similarly robust and built for visibility, giving a consistent, sign-like rhythm across mixed text.
