A heavy, compactly constructed serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and flared stroke endings. The forms are broad and sturdy, with rounded, slightly squarish bowls and a generally low-detail, carved-in look. Stroke joins and terminals show subtle ink-trap-like notches and softened corners that give the letters a worn, stamped texture. Spacing reads open and steady in text, while the wide-set capitals and chunky lowercase maintain a strong, even typographic color.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and branding where a vintage or rustic voice is desired. It can also work for short text blocks in packaging or editorial callouts, where the strong serifs and inked texture help hold presence at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels old-fashioned and utilitarian, evoking letterpress, signage, and frontier-era display typography. Its blunt serifs and rugged terminals suggest a handmade or printed-with-ink character rather than a polished contemporary book face.
Likely intended as a contemporary revival of traditional display serifs used in print ephemera and signage, emphasizing impact, warmth, and a slightly weathered printing feel over refined detail.
Uppercase proportions are broad with emphatic horizontals (notably in E, F, T), while the lowercase keeps sturdy, rounded counters and distinctive, slightly irregular terminals. Numerals match the weight and share the same softened, stamped edges, reinforcing a cohesive, poster-friendly voice.
