A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared-off construction and crisp, chamfered corners that give many strokes an octagonal silhouette. Serifs are pronounced and integrated into the stems with a sturdy, carved feel, while counters stay relatively compact to preserve mass and impact. The lowercase echoes the same chunky structure, with short ascenders/descenders and tightly packed internal spaces that read best at larger sizes. Numerals match the bold, cut-corner rhythm for a consistent, sign-ready texture.
Best suited for attention-grabbing display settings such as posters, headlines, storefront or event signage, and bold wordmarks. It also works well on packaging and labels where a vintage, hardworking tone is desired, especially when set with ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, evoking traditional workwear lettering and old display typography used for signage. Its angular notches and thick slabs add a rugged, no-nonsense character that feels retro and slightly theatrical.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a carved, slab-driven structure, emphasizing sturdy geometry and high visual density for display use. The consistent cut-corner detailing suggests an intention to reference classic signpainting and Western-inspired wood-type aesthetics while remaining straightforward and highly legible at headline sizes.
The design creates a strong, even color on the page, but smaller apertures and tight counters can fill in at small sizes or under heavy ink gain. Spacing appears geared toward headline impact, producing a compact, dense typographic texture in multi-word lines.
