A compact, heavy slab serif with thick, squared-off bracketing and a strong, block-built silhouette. Stems are stout and dark, with relatively tight internal counters and short, punchy arms and terminals that read as firmly anchored. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and compact apertures, keeping word shapes dense and solid, while caps maintain broad, squared proportions and consistent slab presence. Numerals match the same rugged, weighty construction, favoring simple, sturdy forms over delicate detail.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where maximum impact and a rugged presence are needed. It also works well for logo wordmarks and packaging that want a bold, vintage-industrial or western flavor, especially in short lines and stacked compositions.
The tone is forceful and workmanlike, evoking vintage signage and frontier or athletic poster lettering. Its dense color and rigid slabs create a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels loud, durable, and attention-seeking.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-impact slab serif that holds up on bold display applications, prioritizing solidity, condensed efficiency, and a nostalgic sign-painting/wood-type sensibility.
At display sizes the heavy slabs and tight counters create a bold texture and strong horizontal rhythm; in longer passages, the density can feel visually loud. The consistent slab treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures helps maintain a unified, branded look.
