A heavy, blocky slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a compact overall rhythm. Strokes are broadly monolinear with minimal contrast, and corners show subtle softening that keeps the forms from feeling overly rigid. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward the closed side, which reinforces a dense, poster-ready texture. The lowercase has a sturdy, workmanlike build with a single-storey “g” and straightforward terminals, while figures are strong and uniform, reading like display numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and signage where impact and sturdiness are priorities. It also works well for packaging, labels, and logotypes that want a vintage-industrial voice, and can be used for short blocks of text when a dense, assertive texture is desired.
The tone is bold and dependable, evoking vintage printing, old western posters, and utilitarian signage. Its weight and slab structure convey authority, while the slightly rounded shaping adds approachability and a hands-on, crafted feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong slab-serif presence with a classic, printed heritage and high visual stability. It prioritizes bold recognition and a confident, no-nonsense feel while keeping forms friendly through subtle rounding and compact proportions.
In text, the font creates a dark, even color with pronounced horizontal stopping power from the serifs and blunt terminals. The wide feet and squared joins make word shapes feel stable and grounded, especially in all-caps settings.
