A heavy, block-forward slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and thick, even strokes. The letterforms are wide with broad shoulders and compact internal spaces, giving the set a dense, poster-ready color. Serifs read as strong horizontal slabs on capitals and robust foot serifs on lowercase, with generally squared curves and a slightly softened, ink-trap-like feel at some joins. Numerals are equally weighty and stable, with simple, geometric construction that matches the letters’ chunky rhythm.
Best suited for display typography where impact is the priority—headlines, posters, labels, and bold editorial callouts. It also fits branding systems that want a rugged, traditional voice, such as sports identities, outdoor goods, food and beverage packaging, or storefront signage.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, evoking American vernacular signage and print—part western, part industrial, and unapologetically bold. Its presence feels direct and assertive, with a friendly retro warmth rather than a sleek contemporary polish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum weight and clarity through big shapes, squared serifs, and simplified detailing—capturing a classic slab-serif attitude that reads quickly and holds up in bold applications.
In text, the heavy weight and tight counters create a strong, continuous texture; spacing appears generous enough to keep forms from clogging at display sizes, but small sizes may feel dark due to the compact apertures. The mix of rounded bowls and square-cut serifs produces a distinctive, slightly rugged silhouette that stands out in headlines.
