A heavy, slab-serif italic with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are blunt and squared-off, with a consistent rightward slant and chunky, bracket-like serifs that read as stamped or cut. The outlines are intentionally roughened, with irregular edges and slight wobble that suggests uneven inking or worn printing. Letterspacing appears fairly tight in text, reinforcing a dense, poster-like texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event flyers, labels, and display branding where texture and attitude are desirable. It can work for thematic signage and packaging that benefits from a rugged, vintage print feel, while extended body text may feel heavy and visually busy due to the distressed outlines.
The overall tone is rugged and throwback, evoking old wanted posters, saloon signage, and distressed print ephemera. The rough edges add a gritty, handmade energy that feels loud, informal, and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, slanted display voice with deliberate wear and inking artifacts, combining slab-serif structure with a distressed surface to create instant vintage and Western character.
Uppercase forms are especially blocky and emphatic, while lowercase keeps a sturdy, workmanlike rhythm with short ascenders/descenders and wide bodies. Numerals match the same cut-and-ink texture, maintaining a cohesive, weathered look across the set.
