A heavy, wide slab serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and sturdy, slightly rounded stroke terminals. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be compact, giving the letters a dense, punchy silhouette. The stroke contrast is modest but noticeable, with thick main strokes and slightly lighter joins and curves that keep shapes from feeling purely geometric. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase keeps a sturdy, two-storey structure where applicable and maintains strong baseline presence. Numerals are equally weighty and wide, designed to read as a cohesive set alongside the letters.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a bold, vintage-flavored slab serif is needed. It performs especially well for short phrases, product names, and impactful typographic statements that benefit from wide, weighty forms.
The overall tone feels bold and old-fashioned, with a clear poster and sign-painting heritage. Its chunky slabs and wide proportions suggest a confident, attention-grabbing voice that can lean nostalgic or Western, while the softened curves prevent it from becoming overly severe.
The font appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif look—pairing broad proportions and bracketed slabs for authority, while keeping curves and joins slightly softened for a friendlier, more approachable display feel.
The design emphasizes strong horizontals and squared-off serifs, producing a pronounced rhythm in all-caps settings. In longer text, the dense counters and broad shapes create a dark color, favoring display sizes over small reading sizes.
