A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketless, rectangular serifs. Strokes are dense and mostly uniform, with subtly rounded outer corners that keep the shapes from feeling brittle. Counters are relatively small and often squared, and several joins show sharp notches or cut-ins that create a chiseled, stamped look. The rhythm is tight and compact, with minimal modulation and a consistently solid color in text.
Best suited to display settings where its dense texture and slabbed silhouettes can carry impact—posters, headlines, labels, and bold packaging. It also works well for signage and logo-style wordmarks where a sturdy, vintage-leaning presence is desired, while longer passages may feel heavy due to the compact counters and strong stroke mass.
The overall tone is bold and muscular, with a clear nod to vintage poster and Western-inspired typography. Its chunky slabs and carved details read as confident, workmanlike, and a bit theatrical, lending a rugged, no-nonsense voice to short bursts of text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a classic slab-serif structure, adding small carved notches and squared terminals to evoke printed wood type and rugged signage. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and high punch for attention-grabbing typography.
The numerals match the letterforms’ weight and squareness, staying highly graphic and sign-like. At smaller sizes the tight counters and internal cut-ins may fill in, but at display sizes these details become part of the font’s personality.
