A chunky slab serif with heavy, rectangular stems and broad feet that read as strongly bracketed blocks. Corners are subtly softened and many joins show small notches or wedge-like ink-trap cuts, giving counters a carved, stamped look. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with a large x-height and short extenders, while round letters (o, e, g) stay full and heavy, maintaining a consistent, dense color. Overall rhythm is punchy and compact, with sturdy horizontals and pronounced slab terminals that emphasize width and presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where its heavy slabs and carved details can read clearly. It works well for packaging, labels, event graphics, and signage that want a vintage or rugged feel, and can also support bold wordmarks when spacing is tuned for clarity.
The tone is bold and vernacular, evoking vintage signage and a lightly rustic, frontier-inspired personality. Its stout shapes and cut-in details add a friendly roughness that feels energetic and attention-grabbing rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif silhouette, adding distinctive notched joins to create a stamped or wood-type-inspired texture. It prioritizes strong presence and a memorable outline for short phrases and titles.
At text sizes the interior cut-ins and tight counters can darken quickly, so it benefits from generous tracking and plenty of white space. The numerals and caps carry the same blocky slab logic, making it especially consistent for short, high-impact lines.
