A condensed, all-upright serif with a sturdy, almost monoline build and strongly squared geometry. Strokes terminate in sharp, wedge-like serifs and frequent chamfered corners, producing a carved, notched silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are tight and vertical stress is implied by the tall, narrow proportions; curves (as in C, O, S) are constructed from faceted arcs with flattened shoulders. The lowercase follows the same architectural logic, with compact bowls and blunt terminals that keep the texture dense and uniform in text.
Best suited to display use where tall, compact letters are needed: posters, headlines, signage, packaging titles, and branding marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or captions when a strong, vintage-industrial flavor is desired, but the narrow counters and sharp detailing favor larger sizes for clarity.
The overall tone feels industrial and vintage, with a hint of old-West poster lettering and letterpress signage. Its crisp corners and emphatic terminals project firmness and authority, reading as utilitarian and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to translate a carved or stamped lettering aesthetic into a condensed serif, maximizing impact and economy of space. Its faceted curves and wedge serifs suggest an aim for rugged, traditional display typography that remains highly legible in bold, compact settings.
Spacing appears fairly tight, and the dense vertical rhythm creates a strong “fence” effect across lines. Numerals and capitals share the same chiseled detailing, supporting a consistent display voice across headlines, labels, and numeric-heavy settings.
