A compact, rectilinear display face built from heavy, even strokes and squared-off slab details. The forms are tall and tightly proportioned, with minimal curvature and crisp right-angle joins that create a chiseled, architectural feel. Counters are narrow and often rectangular, and the overall rhythm is vertical and dense, emphasizing straight stems, flat terminals, and sturdy horizontal bars.
Best suited to large sizes where its tight counters and heavy slabs can read cleanly—posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, and bold wordmarks. It also works well on packaging and labels when a rugged, retro-industrial voice is desired, but it is less suited to long text at small sizes due to its dense, compact forms.
The tone reads rugged and old-timey, echoing wood-type, saloon signage, and utilitarian labeling. Its bold, squared construction also carries an athletic and industrial edge, making it feel assertive, practical, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint while referencing classic slab-driven display lettering. Its squared terminals and consistent stroke weight suggest a deliberate focus on sturdy silhouettes and a vintage, sign-painter/wood-type inspired presence.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, block-driven construction, with the lowercase maintaining a similarly rigid, upright stance. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared language, staying legible through strong silhouettes and simplified interior space.
