A heavy, block-built slab serif with faceted, angular outlines and frequent notches that make the strokes feel carved rather than drawn. Serifs are blunt and rectangular, with a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm that shows up as uneven corners, angled terminals, and occasional cut-ins on bowls and joins. Counters are compact and polygonal, and the figures follow the same chunky, cut-paper geometry, keeping a consistently dense, poster-friendly silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, storefront-style signage, and packaging that benefits from bold, characterful letterforms. It can also work for short bursts of display text—titles, pull quotes, or labels—where the carved details add personality without needing long-form readability.
The overall tone reads as old-time display: part western woodtype, part circus poster, with a mischievous, slightly rough-and-tumble attitude. The chiseled details add a crafted, handmade flavor that feels nostalgic and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to echo vintage slab-serifs used in show posters and woodtype-inspired display printing, adding cut, notched shaping to amplify impact and give the letters a handmade, stamped presence.
Spacing and sidebearings appear visually varied to accommodate the irregular outlines, creating a lively texture in text lines. The design stays highly legible at large sizes where the notches and facets become a key part of the character.
