A heavy, block-like serif design with broad proportions and strongly chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette across many glyphs. Strokes are dense and uniform, with flat, squared-off slabs and wedge-like cuts that carve out counters and joints. The rhythm is sturdy and poster-oriented, with tight internal spaces, short extenders, and simplified forms that keep silhouettes bold and graphic. Numerals and capitals read especially solid, while the lowercase maintains the same chunky construction with minimal curvature and emphatic terminals.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, packaging labels, and signage where a strong, high-impact word shape is needed. It can also support logo marks and short brand phrases that benefit from a vintage or western-leaning personality, especially at larger sizes where the angular detailing is most visible.
The overall tone feels frontier and workmanlike—evoking old wood-type posters, saloon signage, and bold headline typography. Its sharp cuts and heavy mass give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that leans nostalgic and rustic rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic, poster-era sensibility—using slabbed terminals, clipped corners, and dense forms to create a rugged, highly legible presence for attention-grabbing typography.
Several shapes show deliberate corner clipping and small triangular notches that add texture and help differentiate similar forms at display sizes. The design prioritizes silhouette strength over open counters, producing a compact, ink-heavy color that stands out in short phrases.
