A condensed slab-serif with heavy, uniform strokes and square-cut terminals. The forms are tall and tightly proportioned, with compact counters and minimal stroke modulation that keeps the texture solid and even. Serifs read as blunt blocks rather than delicate brackets, and many joins and corners feel carved and rectilinear, reinforcing a stout, mechanical rhythm. Lowercase and figures follow the same narrow, vertical emphasis, producing a dense, high-impact line of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where a compact footprint and strong silhouette are useful. It can also work well on packaging, labels, and bold brand marks that need a sturdy, vintage-industrial or western-inflected character at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a workmanlike, signage-forward presence. Its blocky slabs and compressed proportions suggest rugged heritage—part industrial labeling, part western poster—delivering a direct, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to pack maximum impact into a narrow width while maintaining clear slab-serif structure. Its low-modulation strokes, blunt serifs, and tall proportions prioritize firmness and legibility for display applications and bold typographic statements.
In the sample text, the tight width and heavy weight create a strong vertical cadence and a dark typographic color, making it most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing. The square serifs and condensed counters make it feel especially suited to short, emphatic strings rather than extended reading.
