A condensed display serif with heavy, low-contrast strokes and pronounced flaring at terminals. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, often with small notches and beak forms that give the outlines a carved, tool-cut feel. Counters are compact and vertical stress is consistent, producing a tight, high-impact texture in lines of text. The lowercase maintains a sturdy, upright structure with compact bowls and clearly differentiated stems, while numerals follow the same blocky, flared-terminal logic for a unified set.
Well suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, storefront or wayfinding signage, and branding wordmarks. It also works for packaging and label-style typography where a vintage or western-inflected voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is vintage and poster-like, evoking western playbills, saloon signage, and old newspaper or circus headlines. Its sharp terminal shaping adds a slightly dramatic, tough character that reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than refined.
Likely designed as a condensed, high-visibility display face that channels historical sign and poster lettering through flared, notched terminals. The intent appears to balance strong readability with a distinctive, period-flavored silhouette that stands out in titles and branding.
Spacing appears tuned for headline setting: letters sit close with strong vertical rhythm, and the distinctive terminal notches become more apparent at larger sizes. The design’s personality comes primarily from its terminal shaping rather than contrast, keeping the color even while still feeling highly stylized.
