A heavy, display-minded slab serif with broad proportions, compact counters, and sturdy rectangular stems. The serifs are thick and mostly blunt with subtle bracketing, giving the shapes a carved, woodtype-like feel rather than a sharp geometric one. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and terminals stay square and weighty; interior corners show small notches and tight apertures that add texture and help define counters at large sizes. Numerals follow the same chunky rhythm, with rounded bowls and strong horizontal stress.
This design is best suited to short, high-impact settings like posters, storefront or event signage, labels, and bold brand wordmarks. It holds up well in large sizes where the notches, tight counters, and slab details become part of the graphic character; for longer passages, it works most effectively as display text or punchy callouts.
The overall tone is confident and hearty, with a classic American poster and Western inflection. Its big slabs and friendly curves feel approachable and nostalgic, suggesting signage, headlines, and bold editorial emphasis rather than quiet text work.
The font appears intended to revive a vintage slab-serif display look with a contemporary, clean silhouette—prioritizing strong presence, legibility at headline sizes, and an unmistakable poster-style personality.
The letterforms maintain consistent mass and spacing across cases, with lowercase designed to match the same blocky personality as the capitals. The italic is not shown; the style presented reads as a single, sturdy roman with pronounced presence and a distinct, decorative texture in tight interior shapes.
