A heavy, slab-serif display face with blocky proportions and distinctly angular, slightly beveled terminals. Strokes stay largely even, but corners show purposeful faceting and small notches that read as chiseled or ink-trap-like cut-ins, giving counters and joins a carved look. The uppercase is wide and sturdy with squared shoulders and flattened serifs, while the lowercase keeps a compact, workmanlike rhythm; overall spacing is open enough to preserve strong silhouettes in text. Numerals follow the same robust, faceted construction, with octagonal curves and firm, straight-sided bowls.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and branding where a tough, handmade-meets-industrial presence is desired. It also works well for labels, packaging, and signage that benefits from strong letterforms and a textured, vintage flavor, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is rugged and vernacular, evoking old posters and utilitarian signage. Its sharp facets and stout slabs feel assertive and hand-hewn, suggesting a vintage, frontier-adjacent character without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy slab-serif voice with a carved, faceted surface treatment, creating instant personality while retaining straightforward readability. Its construction prioritizes bold silhouettes and a poster-ready texture over neutral text smoothness.
In continuous text the frequent corner cuts create a lively, irregular sparkle that adds texture at larger sizes. The faceting is consistent across rounds and diagonals, helping the design feel cohesive even with its deliberately roughened detailing.
