A heavy slab serif with broad proportions, compact counters, and strong rectangular construction. Serifs are prominent and mostly squared with subtle bracketing, giving joins a slightly softened, carved look. Strokes show noticeable modulation for a slab—thick verticals paired with slightly lighter curves—while terminals stay blunt and emphatic. The lowercase is robust and compact, with single-storey forms and sturdy bowls; overall spacing reads tight and massed, producing dense, high-impact lines of text.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where its dense color and bold slabs can dominate. It works well for posters, signage, labels, and packaging that need a sturdy, attention-grabbing voice, and can also support logo wordmarks that want a vintage or western-leaning presence.
The tone is bold and declarative, with a classic display energy that recalls vintage posters and storefront signage. Its chunky slabs and weighty silhouettes feel confident and a bit rugged, leaning into a traditional American/heritage aesthetic rather than a refined editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif structure—wide, weighty shapes and confident serifs that read clearly at large sizes. Its moderated contrast and bracketed joins add a touch of traditional craftsmanship while keeping the overall feel bold and utilitarian.
Curved letters (like C, O, S) maintain a rounded, slightly compressed interior, while the slabs keep the rhythm strongly horizontal. Numerals are equally heavy and built for prominence, matching the letterforms’ blocky weight and sign-painting sensibility.
