A compact, heavy slab serif with squared proportions and a strongly rectilinear construction. Strokes stay consistently thick, with blunt, flat-ended terminals and sturdy slab serifs that read as integrated blocks rather than delicate brackets. Corners are mostly crisp with selective rounding on bowls and shoulders, creating a mix of squared silhouettes and softened internal curves. The overall rhythm is tight and condensed, producing dense word shapes with prominent vertical stress and a strong baseline presence.
Best used for headlines, posters, labels, and signage where strong impact and clear structure are needed. It also suits branding and packaging that benefit from a rugged, traditional display voice, and it can work in short bursts of text when set with generous tracking and leading.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with an unmistakably American display flavor that can feel western or collegiate depending on color and layout. Its bold, blocky forms project strength and practicality, while the squared terminals add a utilitarian, engineered character suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed footprint, pairing bold slab serifs with squared, simplified geometry for high visibility. The design emphasizes sturdy construction and consistent weight to maintain clarity and a distinctive, heritage-leaning display personality at large sizes.
Uppercase forms appear especially commanding and uniform in height, while lowercase retains the same chunky, squared treatment for a cohesive text color at larger sizes. Numerals are similarly robust and legible, with enclosed shapes leaning toward squared ovals that keep the overall texture consistent.
