A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared, flattened terminals and pronounced rectangular serifs that read like bolted-on slabs. Strokes are broadly uniform, with sharp, chamfered corners that create an octagonal, sign-painted geometry across bowls and diagonals. Counters are relatively tight and angular, and the lowercase shows sturdy, compact forms with short ascenders/descenders and squared shoulders. Overall spacing and rhythm feel dense and punchy, emphasizing silhouette and edge definition over delicacy.
Best suited to display work where strong silhouettes matter: posters, headlines, brand marks, labels, and signage that benefits from a rugged, vintage-industrial feel. It can also work for team or event graphics where a sturdy, athletic tone is desired, especially in short lines of text at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and rugged, evoking vintage posters, workwear labels, and Western-influenced display typography. Its hard corners and chunky slabs give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice with a faintly nostalgic, Americana-leaning character. The style suggests durability and impact rather than refinement.
The design appears intended as an impactful display slab that channels Western and industrial poster traditions through squared serifs and chamfered geometry. Its construction prioritizes bold presence, consistent edge language, and a compact, emblematic look for attention-grabbing typography.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same chamfered, almost cut-metal construction, which helps headings feel consistent and emblem-like. The dense color and angular interiors can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, but enhance presence in large, high-contrast applications.
