A heavy, block-built slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a largely rectangular silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong vertical emphasis. The design favors straight edges and right angles, softened only by occasional rounding in interior curves; lowercase forms read robust and compact with a high x-height and short extenders. Spacing appears moderately tight, creating an even, forceful texture in lines of text, while capitals maintain a sturdy, sign-painting-like rhythm.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, labels, and bold branding where a strong, industrial or western-leaning slab presence is desirable. It can work for short subheads and callouts in editorial layouts, especially when paired with a lighter companion for body text.
The font conveys a tough, workmanlike tone with a hint of vintage Americana. Its bold slabs and squared geometry suggest utility, authority, and a no-nonsense voice, making it feel at home in environments that need impact and grit rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a sturdy, squared slab-serif voice, prioritizing boldness, clarity, and a cohesive, sign-ready texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Numerals and uppercase forms share the same squared, carved-out construction, keeping the overall color very uniform. The shapes stay highly legible at display sizes, but the heavy joins and compact counters can make long passages feel dense.
