A chunky, slanted slab-serif with faceted, chiseled contours and heavy, blocky proportions. Strokes are largely straight and planar with sharp corners and clipped terminals, producing a hand-cut, stamp-like texture. Serifs read as thick wedges or squared slabs, and counters tend toward polygonal shapes, giving letters a compact, emphatic silhouette. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, contributing to an irregular, lively rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event promos, storefront-style signage, and bold logotypes. It can also add a vintage punch to packaging and labels, especially where a rugged or Western flavor is desired, but it is less comfortable for extended reading due to its heavy texture and angular detailing.
The overall tone feels Western and rough-hewn, like old wanted posters, saloon signage, or carved wood type. Its angular cuts and emphatic weight project confidence and grit, while the uneven rhythm adds a slightly mischievous, playful energy.
The design appears intended to emulate bold display lettering with a carved or cut-paper feel—combining slab-serif structure with deliberate faceting and a forward slant to create energetic, attention-grabbing typography.
At text sizes the dense weight and tight interior spaces make the texture dark and busy, while at larger sizes the distinctive facets and serifs become the main character. Numerals share the same carved, blocky logic and read best when given room.
