A bold, wide slab-serif design with strongly bracketless, blocky serifs and a distinctly faceted construction. Curves are rendered as angled segments, giving rounds like O/C/S a chiseled, octagonal feel. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with sturdy verticals paired with thinner joins and diagonals, and terminals often cut with small chamfers that create an engraved, tool-made impression. Spacing and widths vary across the alphabet, producing an uneven, lively rhythm that reads as intentionally hand-cut rather than mechanically uniform.
Best suited to display work such as posters, headlines, and signage where its faceted slabs and wide proportions can read clearly. It also fits packaging, labels, and logotypes that want a vintage craft or Western-inflected mood, and it can add character to short pull quotes or titling when set with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is rugged and old-timey, evoking hand-painted signage, frontier posters, and early industrial printing. Its angular “carved” texture adds a slightly mischievous, DIY character—more saloon sign than corporate serif—while remaining assertive and legible at display sizes.
This font appears designed to translate the look of hand-cut or woodtype slab serifs into a consistent digital face, emphasizing angular reconstruction of curves and emphatic, blocky serifs. The goal seems to be high-impact display typography with a nostalgic, tactile presence rather than quiet, bookish refinement.
The distinctive polygonal rounds and notched joins create a subtle sparkle in text, especially in repeated vertical strokes and tight counters. Numerals and caps carry the same cut-from-wood geometry, reinforcing a cohesive, poster-oriented voice.
