A condensed slab-serif with heavy, rectangular stems and broad, squared terminals. Serifs read as chunky slabs with subtle bracketing, paired with rounded inner corners in bowls and counters that soften the otherwise rigid geometry. Stroke modulation is present but controlled, with strong vertical emphasis and compact sidebearings that create a tight, stacked rhythm in text. Letterforms are tall and forceful, with short crossbars and sturdy joins that maintain a uniform, poster-ready color.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold packaging/label work where impact and a compact footprint are useful. It can also work for branding marks and short callouts, particularly when a vintage-industrial or Western-leaning tone is desired.
The overall tone feels bold and declarative, mixing a vintage, woodtype-like toughness with an industrial, signage-driven directness. It carries a subtle Western flavor without becoming novelty, giving headlines a confident, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow width, combining stout slab serifs with softened internal curves to balance toughness and legibility. Its proportions and dense texture suggest a focus on attention-grabbing display use rather than extended small-size reading.
In the samples, the condensed proportions and heavy slabs create strong vertical striping; spacing and counters stay open enough to keep words recognizable at larger display sizes. The design’s squared terminals and compact widths make it especially punchy in all caps and title-case settings.
