A heavy, display-oriented serif with compact, squared counters and sharply defined terminals. The letterforms combine tall vertical stems with small, assertive bracketed serifs and frequent chamfered corners, creating a carved, mechanical feel. Curves are tightened and slightly squarish (notably in C, O, and S), while joins and interior corners show subtle notches that read like ink-trap-inspired cut-ins. Proportions lean tall and somewhat condensed, with consistent, rhythmic verticality and bold rectangular numerals that match the caps’ solidity.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where its dense weight and sculpted details can read clearly—posters, product labels, shop signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work for section headers or pull quotes when a vintage, industrial serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, evoking old signage and stamped or engraved lettering. Its compact shapes and hard edges give it a no-nonsense, utilitarian voice with a distinctly vintage, frontier-adjacent flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, tall rhythm and chiseled detailing, bridging classic serif structure with decorative, sign-painting and engraved-letter cues. Its simplified curves and squared counters prioritize strong silhouettes and recognizability at display sizes.
Lowercase forms largely echo the caps’ squared construction, with single-storey a and g and sturdy, flat-topped features that reinforce the poster-like presence. The Q has a prominent tail, and the W/M are tightly structured, adding to the engineered, display-first impression.
