A heavy, block-driven slab serif with squared-off construction and subtly irregular contours. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals end in flat, chunky slabs that read as cut rather than drawn. Many joins and corners show small notches and chamfered angles, giving the outlines a carved, stamped, or routed feel. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with broad shoulders and tight interior counters that emphasize mass and strong silhouette at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where thick strokes and strong slabs can hold their shape. It works well for branding and packaging that wants a vintage, Western, or workshop aesthetic, and for short bursts of text where its dense color and rugged detailing add impact.
The overall tone is bold and old-school, evoking Western posters and vintage woodtype advertising. Its rugged edges and squared shaping create a confident, workmanlike voice that feels handmade and slightly roughened rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret bold slab forms through a square, cut-letter sensibility—prioritizing immediate legibility and a distinctive stamped/woodtype personality. The notched details and blunt serifs suggest a goal of adding tactile character while maintaining a simple, emphatic structure.
The rhythm leans on strong verticals and rectangular counters, producing a dark, attention-grabbing texture in text. Numerals and capitals are especially punchy, and the small notches at stroke junctions add character without relying on high contrast or flourish.
