A heavy, blocky slab serif with squared, unbracketed terminals and a largely rectilinear construction. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast and compact interior counters that create a dense texture in text. Many joins and corners are sharply cut, with occasional angled notches and clipped terminals that add a chiseled, poster-like rhythm. The lowercase is robust and wide-set with short ascenders and a steady x-height, while numerals are similarly weighty and built for strong presence.
This font is well suited to posters, headlines, and signage where bold, compact letterforms need to hold up at distance. It also works well for packaging, labels, and logotypes seeking a vintage or western-leaning voice. In longer text it will remain readable but tends to form a strong, dark texture, making it most effective for short editorial callouts and display settings.
The tone reads as frontier and industrial—confident, practical, and slightly theatrical. Its chunky shapes and cut-in details suggest vintage signage and display typography, giving it a rugged, handcrafted energy without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended as an impact-focused slab serif that evokes traditional wood-type and sign-painting aesthetics while staying clean and strongly structured. Its squared serifs and clipped details aim to deliver immediate recognition and a durable, utilitarian feel.
At larger sizes the distinctive cut corners and squared serifs become a key identifying feature; in denser settings the tight counters and strong verticals produce a dark, emphatic color. The design maintains consistent weight across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive voice for headlines and short passages.
