A heavy, slab-serif display face with broad proportions and a distinctly angular, faceted construction. Strokes feel chiseled rather than smoothly drawn, with many corners cut into small bevels and occasional notch-like joins that create a rough, handmade rhythm. Serifs read as sturdy rectangular slabs with blunt terminals, and curves are often polygonal (notably in C, O, Q, and the bowls of b/d/p). Counters are generous and open, while the overall spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an irregular, poster-like texture.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its texture and angular slabs can read clearly—posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, packaging, and cover typography. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when a bold, rustic voice is desired, but is likely too busy for long passages at small sizes.
The tone is rugged and nostalgic, evoking old wanted posters, frontier signage, and other vernacular print. Its chunky forms and chamfered details add a playful, slightly mischievous character that feels more handcrafted than industrial, lending an approachable, storybook grit to headlines.
The design appears intended to capture a vintage, woodtype-inspired slab-serif feel while adding a deliberately irregular, carved geometry. Its wide stance and emphatic slabs prioritize impact and personality over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, themed display voice.
The A has a strong crossbar and sharp apex; the Q and O are notably polygonal; and several lowercase forms show quirky details (single-story a, a compact e with an angular eye, and a distinctive g). Numerals are sturdy and attention-grabbing, with simplified geometry and emphatic horizontals that maintain the face’s blocky silhouette.
