A heavy, block-built slab serif with compact proportions, flat-ended terminals, and broadly squared counters. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with short, bracketless slabs that read as blunt notches on many joins. The outlines have a subtly irregular, hand-cut feel—small tilts and asymmetric detailing keep the rhythm lively rather than mechanically geometric. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with simple bowls and short ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same chunky, squared-off construction for strong consistency.
Best suited to display applications where impact and personality matter: posters, event titles, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that want a vintage, western-leaning slab presence, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is bold and showmanlike, evoking old poster printing and stage signage. Its slightly wonky stance and emphatic slabs add a playful, folkish character that feels warm, informal, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that blends sturdy, square-cut construction with a deliberately lively, slightly uneven rhythm. It prioritizes immediate recognition and a retro show-card flavor over neutral, long-form readability.
At text sizes the dense color and tight internal spacing make it feel most at home in short bursts, while larger sizes reveal the intentionally irregular contouring and the distinctive, blocky slab terminals. The design maintains a consistent, compact footprint across caps, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive headline voice.
