A compact, heavy slab-serif with squared-off terminals and a strongly engineered feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, while slab serifs read as blunt, rectangular blocks that reinforce a dense, vertical rhythm. Counters are tight and often squared in character, and joins are firm and angular, giving the lowercase a sturdy, upright texture. Overall spacing and proportions favor impact over airiness, with short extenders and a contained silhouette that stays visually uniform in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where dense, high-impact letterforms are desirable. It also fits branding applications that benefit from a rugged or vintage voice—such as packaging, labels, signage, or team and event graphics—especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is bold and assertive, evoking vintage signage and western or collegiate poster typography. Its block-like serifs and compressed stance create a no-nonsense, workwear personality that feels confident, traditional, and slightly rugged.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum solidity and immediacy through compact proportions and square slab finishing. Its consistent weight, blunt serifs, and tightly controlled counters suggest a display face built for strong typographic color and recognizable, poster-ready character.
Uppercase forms appear particularly compact and monumental, while the lowercase maintains the same blocky construction for consistent color in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same squared, chunky logic, supporting strong presence in headlines and short numeric callouts.
