A slanted, heavy display face with broad proportions and strongly angular construction. Strokes are cut with chamfered corners and small wedge-like slab terminals, giving the outlines a faceted, carved look rather than smooth curves. The texture is lively and slightly irregular in rhythm, with noticeable stroke modulation and crisp inner counters that stay open at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy and compact, while the lowercase keeps a similar weight and uses sharp joins and angled shoulders that reinforce the overall mechanical, cut-letter aesthetic.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its angular slabs and energetic slant can be appreciated—posters, signage, labels, and branding that wants a vintage or western-tinged voice. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but its assertive texture is most comfortable at larger sizes rather than extended body copy.
The font projects a bold, old-time energy—part frontier poster, part vintage shop sign. Its sharp slabs and faceted joins add a rugged, handcrafted feel, while the italic slant injects motion and attitude, making it feel expressive and a bit mischievous.
The type appears designed to deliver a distinctive, period-flavored display voice by combining heavy slabs with chamfered, faceted drawing and an italic forward lean. The goal seems to be high impact and recognizability, with a rugged, carved-sign character that stays legible in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
The design leans on hard angles and terminal cuts to create character, producing a strong silhouette and a distinctive saw-tooth texture in longer lines. Spacing appears generous enough for display use, with letterforms that maintain distinct shapes even in dense word patterns.
