Analyze: The type above is a sans serif display typeface. The letterforms are all uppercase and the strokes are very thick. The letterforms seem very block-like. The "H" is rather wide compared to the other letters, especially the "C" which looks fairly narrow. There are no curves in the type above. Where there should be shoulders like on the "P", "C", and "R", there are straight lines.
Classify: Sans Serif, Display, Uppercase
Define: I think this typeface communicates an americana kind of feeling.
Comment: I found this type specimen at a bar on Peachtree Street called Peachtree Tavern. I don't really feel that this typeface fits the bar, because inside, the bar does not have an Americana feeling at all, but rather a fratty, college feel to it. I did however find the typeface appealing because the boldness of the thick strokes and blockiness of the letters are very unique.
