A heavy, slab-serif display face with broad proportions and a compact, high-impact silhouette. Strokes are thick with noticeable contrast and assertive, blocky serifs that read as squared and slightly bracketed. Many glyphs show deliberate cut-ins and notches—often as internal vertical breaks or wedge-like bites—creating a stencil-like, carved effect. Counters are relatively small for the weight, terminals are crisp, and the overall rhythm is bold and punchy rather than delicate, with irregularities in width that add character in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks where its bold slabs and notched details can be appreciated. It also works well on packaging or labels that want a vintage, Western, or industrial tone, especially in short phrases and display settings rather than long body copy.
The notched, poster-style construction evokes Western and circus printing, with a vintage sign-painting and wood-type feel. It comes across as confident and a bit theatrical—built to grab attention and project a rugged, handcrafted energy.
The design appears intended to reinterpret bold slab-serif display traditions with a decorative, stencil-like twist. Its wide stance, heavy weight, and repeated cut-in motifs prioritize recognizability and atmosphere, aiming for eye-catching titles and period-flavored branding.
The distinctive internal cutouts (notably visible in round letters and several lowercase forms) create strong texture at headline sizes and can begin to visually fill in at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same chunky, cut-in language, maintaining consistency across letters and figures.
