A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad proportions and tightly packed counters. The serifs are thick and squared with subtle bracketing, and many joins show small notches that read like ink traps or cut-ins, giving edges a carved, stencil-adjacent flavor. Curves are sturdy and somewhat squared-off, while terminals stay blunt and emphatic. Overall spacing and rhythm favor impact over delicacy, producing a dense, headline-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where weight and character are assets—posters, signage, packaging fronts, and bold brand marks. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but longer text blocks will read heavy and attention-dominant.
The face conveys a bold, old-poster confidence with a rugged, workmanlike tone. Its chunky slabs and cut-in details evoke wood type, Western signage, and vintage display printing, making the voice feel loud, straightforward, and slightly playful.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab with a vintage printing sensibility, using thick slabs and strategic cut-ins to add personality and maintain legibility under dense, inky forms.
At text sizes the dense counters and strong serifs create a dark, compact color, while the distinctive notches help keep shapes from clogging completely in heavier settings. The numerals share the same stout, poster-like construction, reinforcing a consistent display identity across letters and figures.
