A heavy, condensed slab serif with compact proportions and a strongly squared silhouette. Strokes stay broadly even, with crisp corners and chamfered, octagonal-like terminals that give curves a carved, faceted feel. Serifs are bold and supportive rather than delicate, creating a firm baseline and a consistent rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are small, emphasizing dense texture and strong vertical presence in text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where density and impact are desirable, such as posters, storefront signage, labels, and packaging. It can also work for subheads or callouts when you want a bold, compact slab voice that stays legible and visually anchored.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a distinctly classic poster and Americana flavor. Its faceted corners and sturdy slabs evoke wood type and signage, projecting confidence, durability, and a no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif look optimized for attention and durability, borrowing from traditional display lettering while keeping forms straightforward and consistent for practical use.
Round letters such as O, C, and G appear squared-off with flattened arcs, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain thick and controlled, maintaining the same strong color. Numerals follow the same blocky, chamfered logic, reading like display figures designed to hold up at large sizes.
