A compact, heavy slab serif with tightly set proportions and strongly squared letterforms. Stems are thick and assertive, with pronounced slab terminals that read as slightly bracketed and sometimes notched, giving a subtly stenciled, cut-out feel. Curves are controlled and geometric, with rounded corners kept firm rather than soft, and counters remain relatively small for the weight. The overall rhythm is vertical and punchy, with consistent cap presence and sturdy lowercase shapes that maintain clear differentiation at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, brand marks, labels, and bold packaging. It can also work for signage or editorial display where a compact width and strong slab presence help text hold its ground in busy layouts.
The font conveys a frontier-and-signage attitude: tough, pragmatic, and attention-grabbing. Its dense black footprint and squared slabs suggest printed posters, wood-type influence, and utilitarian labeling, bringing a confident, no-nonsense tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority in limited horizontal space, combining classic slab-serif structure with a slightly carved, wood-type flavor. Its goal is clarity and impact for display typography rather than quiet, extended reading.
Numerals and capitals appear especially emblematic and sign-like, with simplified inner shapes and strong terminal emphasis. The design’s deliberate notches and slab joins add texture without becoming decorative, helping large headlines feel distinctive while staying straightforward.
