A blocky slab serif with an angular, slightly irregular outline language. Strokes feel mostly monolinear with modest contrast, and many curves are faceted into octagonal forms, giving round letters like O, Q, and G a polygonal look. Serifs are short and square with blunt ends, contributing to a sturdy, stamped impression. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, creating a lively rhythm, while counters stay fairly open and the overall color is dark and assertive.
Best suited for display contexts such as posters, headlines, labels, and signage where its chunky slabs and faceted shapes can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and short callouts that benefit from a rugged, vintage-leaning voice.
The faceted geometry and chunky slabs lend a rugged, tool-made character that reads as industrial and slightly western, with a playful roughness rather than strict precision. It suggests signage, stenciled or stamped lettering, and a handcrafted display tone that feels retro and bold without being overly formal.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif sturdiness with a deliberately faceted, hand-tooled geometry, producing a bold display face that feels stamped or carved. The variable rhythm and angular construction prioritize character and impact over neutral text clarity.
Distinctive polygonal bowls are a key motif across both uppercase and lowercase, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) are emphatic and broad. Numerals match the same angular construction, with simplified, sturdy silhouettes suited to attention-grabbing settings rather than delicate text use.
