A condensed, heavy slab-serif with squared-off terminals and compact counters that create a dense, vertical rhythm. Strokes are largely monolinear with slight modulation, and the serifs read as blunt blocks rather than delicate brackets. The forms are tall and narrow with sturdy shoulders and tight interior space, giving letters a pressed, punchy silhouette. Curves are constrained and geometric, while joins and corners stay firm and rectilinear, reinforcing a utilitarian, display-oriented texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as posters, headlines, brand marks, and packaging labels where dense, condensed lettering is an advantage. It also fits signage or titling that benefits from a rugged, vintage-leaning slab-serif voice rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone feels bold and workmanlike, evoking vintage signage, wanted posters, and old industrial labeling. Its tight, upright stance and chunky serifs project authority and grit, with a distinctly retro American/Western flavor when set in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining blunt slab serifs with a sturdy, squared construction for a classic display look. Its proportions and heavy color suggest a focus on attention-grabbing titles and nostalgic sign-painting or letterpress-inspired aesthetics.
In text settings the strong verticals and narrow proportions create a dramatic, tightly packed line, while the small counters and heavy weight can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The numerals match the same condensed, blocky construction, supporting consistent emphasis in headline use.
