A heavy, block-built slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a compact, sculpted silhouette. Strokes are broad and largely uniform, with flat terminals, crisp corners, and occasional small cut-ins/notches that add a carved, display-like texture. Counters are relatively tight and geometric, giving letters a dense, poster-ready color, while spacing and widths vary enough to keep an energetic rhythm across words. Numerals match the same hefty, squared construction for consistent impact in headlines and signage.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, headlines, brand marks, team or collegiate-style graphics, and bold packaging labels. It also works well for short calls to action, storefront-style signage, and merchandise graphics where impact and a traditional slab-serif voice are desired.
The face conveys a classic American display tone—part collegiate, part Western—projecting confidence, tradition, and a bit of showmanship. Its chunky slabs and carved details feel bold and assertive, yet approachable and fun, making it well suited to attention-grabbing statements.
Designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a square-slab framework and subtle carved detailing, aiming for a vintage display personality that reads as sturdy and familiar. The letterforms prioritize presence and character over long-form readability, targeting bold editorial or branding moments.
At smaller sizes the tight counters and heavy joins can fill in, so it reads best when given room, generous tracking, or used at display sizes. The strong horizontal slabs and squared shapes create a stable baseline and a distinctly stamped or poster-like presence in blocks of text.
