A chunky slab serif with heavy, squared-off stems and broad slabs that read as integrated blocks rather than delicate terminals. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be narrow, giving the face a dense, ink-trap-like presence at display sizes. Corners are mostly squared but subtly softened by slight rounding and stepped notches in a few joins, creating a cutout, woodtype-like texture. The lowercase uses a single-storey a and g and maintains a large, robust x-height with short extenders, reinforcing a compact, billboard-ready rhythm.
Best suited for display applications where weight and personality matter: posters, headlines, brand marks, event graphics, packaging, and signage. It holds up well in all-caps and short lowercase phrases, especially when you want a bold, vintage-leaning slab feel with a contemporary, punchy silhouette.
The overall tone feels bold, confident, and a bit mischievous—like classic show posters or Old West placards modernized with cleaner geometry. Its heft and squared construction project toughness and impact, while the occasional notches and soft curves add a friendly, slightly humorous warmth.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a sturdy slab foundation and a hint of woodtype and stencil-like character. The large x-height and compact counters prioritize strong presence and readability at big sizes, while the notched details add distinctiveness without turning ornamental.
Spacing and sidebearings appear designed for tight, impactful setting, with interiors and joins that stay legible even when the letterforms get visually dense. Numerals match the same blocky logic and heavy baseline presence, supporting headlines and short bursts of copy rather than delicate, continuous reading.
