A compact, heavy serif with a pronounced vertical stress and tightly packed proportions. Strokes are thick and confident, with subtly modulated contrast and small bracketed serifs that often flare into wedge-like terminals. Many joins and counters show squared-off shaping with slightly notched, ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen the interior rhythm, while curves are kept firm and controlled. Overall spacing reads tight and efficient, producing a dense, high-impact texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, poster titles, storefront-style signage, logo wordmarks, and packaging callouts. The dense width and strong interior shaping help it hold up in large sizes and high-contrast applications where impact matters more than long-form readability.
The tone evokes classic Western and early 20th‑century display lettering—assertive, utilitarian, and a bit theatrical. Its condensed, punchy build feels at home in bold announcements and branded headlines where a vintage or sports-poster energy is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, combining traditional serif cues with rugged, display-oriented construction. It emphasizes a bold, vintage-forward personality while maintaining a consistent, highly legible silhouette for attention-grabbing typography.
The uppercase set carries a strong sign-painting / woodtype flavor, while the lowercase retains the same rugged, squared construction for consistent color in mixed-case text. Numerals match the blocky, condensed feel, keeping the overall voice uniform across alphanumerics.
