A condensed, block-built slab serif with tall proportions, narrow counters, and squared terminals. Stems are mostly straight and vertical, with crisp right-angle joins and a distinctly rectilinear rhythm that keeps curves tightly controlled. Slab elements read as compact caps or brackets at stroke ends rather than broad horizontal serifs, producing a punchy, stenciled-meets-letterpress texture. The lowercase follows the same rigid geometry, with compact bowls and tight apertures that emphasize a dense, vertical silhouette across words.
Best suited for headlines, posters, titling, and signage where its condensed width and blocky slabs create strong vertical presence. It can also work for logotypes and packaging that want a vintage-industrial or western flavor, especially when set with generous tracking or in short phrases.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a frontier-and-factory character—part western playbill, part industrial signage. Its sharp, rectangular detailing and tightly packed forms create a dramatic, no-nonsense voice suited to impact-driven messaging.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact in narrow widths while retaining a recognizable slab-serif structure. The squared terminals and compact counters suggest an intention to evoke historic display typography used in posters and signage, with a contemporary, highly regularized geometry for consistent, repeatable rhythm.
The design’s narrow interior spaces and squared notches can make small sizes feel dense, while larger settings highlight its distinctive slab caps and angular construction. Numerals and capitals carry a consistent monolinear feel with subtle internal contrast created by the cut-in corners and compact counters.
