A heavy, block-driven slab serif with rectangular, bracketed serifs and square-cut terminals throughout. Strokes are robust and mostly monoline, with small notches and shallow ink-trap-like cut-ins at joins and interior corners that sharpen counters and improve separation at large sizes. Proportions are compact with a relatively even x-height, tight-looking apertures, and wide, stable bases on letters like E, T, and L. The numerals match the dense, squared construction, with uniform weight and strong verticals that read as signage-ready.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where its dense color and slab structure can carry impact. It also fits branding, packaging, labels, and wayfinding or signage applications that benefit from sturdy letterforms and a vintage-meets-industrial voice.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, evoking wood type, Western posters, and industrial labeling. Its squared details and cut-in corners add a slightly mechanical, rugged character that feels assertive and confident rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif foundation, pairing poster-era solidity with practical corner cut-ins to keep shapes crisp and readable at bold display sizes.
Counters tend to be relatively closed and rectangular, giving text a dark, uniform texture. The design’s crisp corner behavior and consistent serif treatment create a strong rhythm in all-caps settings while keeping lowercase forms cohesive for short bursts of copy.
