A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared terminals and firmly attached, unbracketed serifs. Strokes are consistently thick and the overall geometry favors straight sides, flat tops, and crisp right angles, with only occasional rounding on bowls and corners. Counters are tight and often rectangular, and several joins show small notches or cut-ins that add a punched, mechanical rhythm. The lowercase is compact and robust, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short extenders that keep lines dense and stable.
Best suited to large sizes where its blocky slabs and tight counters can project impact—posters, headlines, brand marks, and bold labels. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when a dense, rugged voice is desired rather than airy readability.
The tone is emphatic and workmanlike, reading as vintage display lettering with a Western/woodtype and athletic-poster edge. Its dense color and squared detailing give it a tough, utilitarian character that feels bold, confident, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority with simple, squared construction and slabbed terminals, echoing woodtype and industrial display traditions. The notched joins and compact interiors reinforce a punchy, printed look optimized for strong presence in promotional and sign-like settings.
Spacing and proportions create a chunky, compact texture in text, with strong vertical stress and a uniform, stencil-like solidity despite being fully connected. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and squareness, maintaining the same assertive, signage-ready presence.
