A condensed serif with heavy strokes, tapered terminals, and flared, wedge-like serifs that give the letterforms a carved, poster-ready look. The design shows subtle contrast and a distinct backward slant across both capitals and lowercase, creating a dynamic rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and many joins show small notches or ink-trap-like cuts that sharpen the interior shapes. Round letters are slightly squarish and compressed, while verticals stay dominant, producing a sturdy, compact texture in lines of text.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, branding, labels, and signage where the condensed width and flared serifs can create impact. It can also work for short bursts of editorial titling or pull quotes, especially when a vintage or Western-leaning voice is desired. For longer reading, its tight counters and strong stylization may be better kept to larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a clear vintage and Western/wood-type flavor. The reverse slant adds a contrarian, attention-grabbing energy that reads as punchy and slightly quirky rather than formal. It suggests headlines that want to feel rugged, spirited, and a bit dramatic.
The font appears designed to echo classic wood-type and sign-painting traditions while adding a distinctive reverse-leaning stance for extra motion and personality. Its flared serifs, compact proportions, and sharpened interior details prioritize attention and atmosphere over neutrality.
Capitals are tall and blocky with strong top serifs, and the numerals share the same condensed, chiseled construction for consistent display use. The lowercase maintains a straightforward structure with sturdy stems and compact bowls, helping it hold together in short text while remaining clearly display-oriented.
