A compact, slanted display serif with tall proportions and heavy, uniform-feeling stroke weight. Letterforms are strongly angular, with crisp corners, faceted/beveled cuts, and small wedge-like terminals that read as stylized serifs rather than broad slabs. Curves are tightened into polygonal arcs (notably in C, G, O, and S), and joins often form sharp notches and pointed inner counters. The rhythm is dense and energetic, with relatively narrow apertures and a consistent forward lean across both cases; numerals follow the same chiseled, blocky construction.
Best suited to large sizes where its faceted terminals and tight counters can read clearly—posters, packaging, logos, event graphics, and storefront-style signage. It can also work for sports or team-style titling and short bursts of emphasis in editorial layouts, especially when a vintage or rugged display voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, evoking vintage signage and frontier-inspired display lettering. Its sharp facets and condensed stance give it a tough, competitive voice—more “headline” than “body,” with a slightly industrial, stamped feel.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif letterforms through a chiseled, sign-painting-inspired geometry, prioritizing impact and a distinctive silhouette over neutrality. The forward slant and compact spacing support fast, attention-grabbing headlines with a strong sense of motion.
Uppercase forms feel especially poster-oriented, with octagonal rounds and cut-in shoulders; lowercase maintains the same faceting and uses tall ascenders/descenders that reinforce the vertical, compressed texture. The punctuation and figures shown match the same angular terminal language, keeping the set visually cohesive in running lines.
