A heavy, condensed slab-serif with chunky, squared terminals and a compact, vertical stance. Strokes are thick with subtly irregular, ink-trap-like notches and pinches at joins and inner corners, giving the forms a carved or stamped look rather than a smooth geometric finish. Counters are tight and often rounded-rectangular, while serifs read as blunt blocks that merge confidently into the stems. Overall spacing and letterfit feel dense, built for strong silhouette and headline rhythm.
Best suited for large-size display work where its dense weight and distinctive notches can be appreciated—posters, event flyers, bold branding, labels, and storefront-style signage. It can also serve as an accent face in editorial or digital layouts when used sparingly for titles or callouts.
The texture and blunt slabs evoke vintage wood type, Wild West playbills, and old poster lettering. Its roughened interior cuts add a hand-made, slightly mischievous energy that feels theatrical and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to channel vintage slab-serif display type—especially woodtype and showcard traditions—by combining condensed proportions with blunt slabs and deliberate roughening in the interior shapes. The goal is maximum impact with a nostalgic, theatrical flavor and strong legibility at headline sizes.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same stout, condensed construction, keeping a consistent color across mixed-case setting. Numerals match the blocky presence and maintain the same notched details, supporting a cohesive display palette.
