A heavy, slab-serif display face with blocky proportions and distinctive wedge-like, chamfered corners that give strokes a faceted, cut-out look. Serifs are sturdy and mostly square-ended, while many joins and terminals show angled trims that create a slightly uneven, hand-set rhythm. Counters are compact and shapes lean geometric rather than calligraphic, producing strong silhouettes and high ink coverage that holds up well at larger sizes.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of text where strong shapes and personality are desirable. It can work well for packaging, labels, signage, and logo wordmarks that want a vintage or Western-leaning voice, and it’s particularly effective when paired with simpler body text for contrast.
The tone is theatrical and old-timey, evoking Western posters, circus bills, and vintage storefront lettering. Its subtly irregular cadence adds a lively, rough-hewn character that feels handmade and attention-grabbing rather than formal or neutral.
Designed to deliver immediate impact through chunky slabs and chamfered detailing, offering a classic display flavor with a slightly rough, hand-crafted rhythm. The construction prioritizes bold silhouettes and a nostalgic, showbill-like presence over quiet readability in long passages.
Capitals are broad and emphatic, with numerals that match the same chiseled, slab-driven construction for a cohesive headline system. The strong interior shapes and tight counters suggest it will look best with generous tracking and adequate line spacing, especially in dense words or smaller settings.
