A heavy, brash slab-serif with broad proportions, compact counters, and strongly bracketed, blocky serifs. Strokes are generally thick with subtle modulation and softly rounded joins, giving the letterforms a slightly cushioned, printed feel rather than a sharp geometric one. Terminals and serifs appear squared off but eased by curves, and the overall rhythm is dense and stable, staying legible through large dark shapes and clear silhouettes. Numerals and lowercase follow the same chunky, sturdy construction, with a consistent, display-oriented color across lines of text.
Best used for headlines and short blocks where a strong, characterful slab serif is needed—posters, storefront-style signage, labels, and packaging. It can also work for logotypes and badges where a compact, high-impact wordmark benefits from sturdy serifs and a vintage print texture.
The font projects a bold, old-school presence—part Western poster, part industrial print—while retaining a warm, approachable tone through rounded shaping. It feels assertive and attention-grabbing without becoming overly formal, suggesting signage, headlines, and branding with a nostalgic edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif voice, combining strong, bracketed serifs and rounded details to evoke traditional printing and poster typography. Its proportions and dense texture suggest a focus on display use, prioritizing presence, stability, and a nostalgic, crafted feel.
The wide stance and deep slabs create a strong horizontal emphasis, while the tight internal spaces make it feel best suited to larger sizes or generous tracking. Curved letters (like C/O/S) show pronounced weight and smooth transitions into the serifs, reinforcing a cohesive, punchy texture in paragraphs.
