A heavy, slab-serif display face with broad proportions, compact counters, and strongly bracketed slabs that read as carved, sturdy terminals. Strokes are largely even with subtle modulation, and the joins often show small notches and wedge-like shaping that creates an ink-trap-like, stamped look. Curves are generously rounded, while verticals remain firm and straight, giving the alphabet a steady, weighty rhythm. Spacing and sidebearings feel built for impact, with letterforms that hold their mass cleanly in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact text where its mass and slab details can read clearly—posters, packaging, labels, signage, and brand marks. It can work for subheads and pull quotes, but its dense color and tight counters make it less ideal for extended body copy, especially at small sizes.
The font projects a bold, old-fashioned confidence with a frontier/heritage flavor and a touch of industrial grit. Its chunky slabs and sculpted joins suggest signage, printing, and workwear aesthetics, delivering a straightforward, no-nonsense voice that still feels characterful and lively.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif structure and rugged detailing, balancing broad, readable silhouettes with distinctive join shaping for a printed, heritage-driven feel.
Distinctive internal notches and stepped transitions appear across several letters (notably in diagonals and joins), adding texture that becomes more apparent at larger sizes. Numerals are similarly stout and sign-like, matching the uppercase’s solid, poster-oriented presence.
