A heavy, slanted slab-serif with chunky, rounded terminals and broad, sculpted curves. The letters show softened corners and subtly uneven contouring, with visible speckling and pitted texture inside the strokes that reads like worn ink or weathered print. Counters are generally open and sturdy, and the numerals match the same robust, slightly bouncy construction for a cohesive set.
Well suited to bold headlines, event posters, and branded display work where a vintage or rustic impression is desired. It can add character to packaging, labels, and badge-style marks, especially when paired with simpler supporting text for contrast.
The overall tone feels nostalgic and poster-like, with a friendly toughness that suggests old shop signage and frontier-era display type. The slant and bulbous forms add motion and charm, while the worn texture brings a handmade, timeworn authenticity.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing display voice that blends Western-leaning slab forms with a deliberately weathered print texture. Its italic slant and rounded shaping aim for a lively, approachable feel while preserving a rugged, retro presence.
The silhouette stays consistent across the alphabet, balancing strong vertical weight with rounded joins and occasional teardrop-like terminals. Texture is prominent enough to be a defining feature, so it reads most clearly at larger sizes where the speckling becomes an intentional character rather than noise.
