A compact display serif with tall, tightly set proportions and heavy vertical emphasis. Strokes terminate in crisp, wedge-like serifs and chamfered corners, creating a consistent octagonal, cut-out silhouette across both caps and lowercase. Curves are largely squared off, with bowls and counters kept narrow and upright, producing a punchy rhythm and strong texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, maintaining a uniform, sign-like presence.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, labels, and branding marks where the angular detailing can read clearly. It can work for subheads or callouts in larger sizes, but the dense, faceted shapes are likely to feel heavy in long passages at small sizes.
The faceted, chiseled detailing gives the face a rugged, workmanlike character that reads as vintage and emphatic. Its sharp terminals and condensed stance evoke old signage and bold headlines, projecting confidence and a slightly theatrical, frontier-leaning tone.
Likely intended as a decorative serif for attention-grabbing display use, combining condensed proportions with carved, chamfered terminals to create a distinctive, sign-painter or stamped-letter aesthetic.
Caps are especially dominant and linear, while the lowercase keeps similar geometry and weight, helping mixed-case settings retain a firm, blocky color. The angular joins and clipped curves favor impact over softness, making the design feel deliberate and crafted rather than neutral.
