A heavy, block-driven slab serif with strongly bracketed serifs and a compact, squared-off skeleton. Strokes are thick with noticeable (but not extreme) contrast, and many joins show small notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen corners and help keep counters from clogging. The capitals are broad and sturdy with flat terminals, while the lowercase is large and robust, producing a dense texture in text. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, emphasizing big bowls and firm horizontal slabs for high impact.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its strong slabs and compact counters can read as deliberate graphic texture. It works well for posters, signage, badges, team/sports branding, and packaging that wants a sturdy, heritage-leaning voice. For longer copy, it will typically perform better at larger sizes with generous leading to avoid an overly dark text block.
The tone is bold and commanding, with a vintage poster feel that leans toward western and athletic lettering. Its chunky slabs and carved-looking joins give it a workwear, badge, or woodtype energy—confident, loud, and slightly nostalgic rather than refined.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that references classic woodtype and poster letterforms while adding crisp corner detailing for punch and clarity. It prioritizes presence, robustness, and a distinctive texture over neutrality, aiming to make titles and brand phrases feel sturdy and memorable.
In paragraph settings the weight creates a dark, high-contrast color on the page; spacing appears tuned for display rather than long reading. The internal shapes are relatively tight, and the distinctive corner cut-ins become more apparent at larger sizes where the detailing reads as intentional character.
