A sturdy slab-serif with compact proportions, dense black presence, and a slightly uneven, hand-set rhythm. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with squared, sometimes subtly chamfered terminals and prominent slab feet that read as blunt and workmanlike. Counters are relatively tight, and joins show small notches and angular transitions that give the outlines a cut, stamped, or carved impression rather than a smooth geometric one. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with a compact, utilitarian structure that keeps texture dark and cohesive in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and signage where a compact, attention-grabbing slab-serif texture is desired. It also fits packaging and labels that aim for a vintage or rustic look, especially in short bursts of text, badges, and typographic marks.
The overall tone feels old-time and utilitarian, evoking frontier signage and letterpress-era display typography. Its assertive weight and angular details add a rugged, no-nonsense character that reads as confident and a bit theatrical.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, traditional slab-serif voice with a compact footprint, prioritizing impact and a historical, display-oriented feel. Its angular cuts and blunt slabs suggest an intention to reference wood-type or stamped lettering while staying solid and highly legible at display sizes.
The design maintains strong consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals, emphasizing sturdy silhouettes over delicate detail. In the sample text, the heavy slabs and tight spacing create a punchy, high-impact line texture that favors short phrases and emphatic settings.
