A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared, octagonal corner cuts and a compact, vertically driven rhythm. Strokes are largely even in weight with short, rectangular slabs that read as integrated terminals rather than delicate serifs. Counters are tight and angular, and many curves are resolved into straight segments with chamfered joins, giving letters a machined, stamped look. The lowercase keeps a tall, sturdy structure with minimal modulation, while the numerals follow the same squared-off, sign-painter geometry for consistent color in display sizes.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and title treatments where a strong, compact voice is needed. It also works well for signage, badges, and packaging that benefits from a vintage-industrial or Western-inflected personality, especially at medium to large sizes where the chamfered details stay clear.
The overall tone feels rugged and no-nonsense, evoking Western posters, workwear labeling, and vintage institutional lettering. Its crisp corners and dense texture add a sense of authority and durability, with a nostalgic, utilitarian edge rather than elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a condensed, space-efficient footprint while maintaining a distinctive slab-serif silhouette. Its angular simplifications suggest an aim toward reproducible, print-friendly forms reminiscent of stamped, engraved, or wood-type-inspired display lettering.
The face builds strong horizontal and vertical alignments, producing a solid typographic “wall” in text. Diacritics and punctuation shown are simple and weighty, matching the blunt, engineered finish of the letterforms.
