A decorative serif with a strong woodtype flavor, built from sturdy verticals and squared counters softened by subtle rounding. Serifs are flared and wedge-like with small bracketed transitions, creating a chiseled, stamped impression rather than a delicate book face. Stroke endings often show notch-like shaping and slightly tapered terminals, and many curves have flattened shoulders that give letters a squarish, engineered silhouette. Proportions are generally compact with tall caps, relatively narrow bowls, and a rhythm that feels slightly irregular in a deliberate, display-oriented way; numerals follow the same angular, poster-ready construction.
Works best for display settings such as posters, event titles, signage, labels, and brand marks where the flared serifs and carved terminals can be appreciated. It can also support short editorial callouts or pull quotes, but it is most effective when set with generous size and spacing to keep the distinctive shaping clear.
The overall tone is bold and nostalgic, evoking frontier posters, old storefront signage, and turn-of-the-century print ephemera. Its crisp, carved detailing and slightly mechanical squareness read as confident and rugged, with a hint of theatricality suited to headlines and branding.
Likely designed to reinterpret vintage woodtype and engraved poster lettering with a modern, consistent digital drawing. The emphasis appears to be on distinctive serif flare, squared construction, and punchy readability for attention-grabbing display typography.
The font’s distinctive character comes from consistent terminal shaping—small wedges, notches, and squared-off curves—that remains visible even in the sample paragraph. Round letters like O and C lean toward rounded-rectangle forms, and the lowercase maintains strong presence with sturdy stems and compact apertures, supporting short text as well as prominent titles.
