A compact, condensed slab-serif with heavy, low-contrast strokes and an upright stance. Serifs and terminals are blunt and square-ended, with minimal bracketing and a strong rectangular construction throughout. Counters are relatively tight and vertical stems dominate, creating a dense rhythm that reads cleanly at large sizes. Lowercase shows a sturdy, workmanlike texture with small apertures and straightforward, non-calligraphic joins; numerals follow the same tall, compressed proportions.
Best suited for posters, headlines, labels, and signage where space is tight but impact is needed. It also works well for packaging, logotypes, and sports or team-style branding that benefits from a compact, blocky silhouette and strong, slabbed detailing.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking vintage signage, athletic lettering, and frontier-style display typography. Its compact width and emphatic slabs give it a confident, no-nonsense presence that feels bold, practical, and slightly nostalgic.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using blunt slab serifs and sturdy geometry to project strength and clarity. The intent appears geared toward display typography that stays legible under bold reproduction and maintains a consistent, sign-painterly solidity.
The condensed proportions create strong vertical emphasis, and the square terminals make edges feel crisp and mechanical. In longer lines, the dense texture can feel forceful and attention-grabbing, favoring display settings over relaxed reading.
