A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with an angular, chiseled construction and visibly notched corners. Strokes carry noticeable contrast, with thick main stems and firm slab-like terminals that often feel faceted rather than smoothly curved. Counters are compact and polygonal, and joins frequently form sharp wedges that create a crisp, cut-in rhythm. The overall texture is dense and emphatic, with slightly irregular widths across glyphs that add a lively, hand-cut impression while staying stylistically consistent.
Best suited to display typography where its chiseled slabs and forward motion can carry: headlines, posters, apparel and team-style graphics, bold packaging callouts, and brand marks that want a rugged retro edge. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but its dense texture and sharp detailing make it most effective at larger sizes.
The tone is energetic and forceful, mixing a vintage display attitude with a rough-hewn, workshop-made character. Its angular slabs and forward slant give it a competitive, headline-driven feel, while the faceting adds a hint of old-time or western flavor. Overall it reads as bold-minded and attention-seeking rather than refined or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive carved/slabbed signature, combining strong serifs, angled cuts, and a dynamic slant for energetic display use. It aims to evoke a vintage, crafted feel while staying bold and readable in prominent settings.
In the sample text, the strong diagonals and chunky serifs create a punchy, poster-like color and maintain impact across long lines. The faceted curves (notably in round letters and numerals) introduce a distinctive “cut” signature that becomes a key identifying feature at display sizes. The figures match the letterforms’ angular logic, keeping a consistent, sturdy presence.
