A condensed display serif with tall, column-like proportions and a steady, mostly vertical stroke flow. Terminals frequently split into small forked points and spur-like notches, giving stems and joints a carved, ornamental finish. Curves are slightly pinched and angular at transitions (notably in bowls and shoulders), while counters stay relatively tight, reinforcing a compact, poster-ready rhythm. The lowercase is narrow with a modest x-height and long ascenders/descenders; overall spacing reads even but intentionally tight to suit its tall silhouette.
Best used at display sizes where the forked terminals and spurs can read clearly—posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, and retro-leaning branding. It also suits packaging and labels that aim for a vintage or Western tone, especially in short words and emphatic titles.
The letterforms convey a showbill, saloon-sign, and vaudeville sensibility—confident, punchy, and a bit mischievous. The forked terminals add a decorative edge that feels antique and theatrical rather than formal or understated.
The font appears designed to deliver a condensed, high-impact display voice with decorative spurs that evoke carved or stamped lettering. Its narrow build and consistent ornamentation suggest an intention to maximize vertical presence and character in limited horizontal space.
The design relies on repeated spur motifs across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating strong stylistic cohesion. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic and maintain the decorative terminals, supporting consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
