A heavyweight serif with a compact interior structure and pronounced bracketed serifs that often flare into forked or spurred terminals. The stroke model shows strong thick–thin contrast, with stout verticals and sharply thinned joins that create small, pinched counters and ink-trap–like notches at several corners. Proportions read slightly expanded in the rounds, while spacing is firm and blocky, producing an emphatic, stamped rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same chunky, bracketed construction with squared-off shoulders and tight apertures for a consistent, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to large-scale display work where the spurred terminals and bracketed serifs can be appreciated—posters, event headlines, brand marks, labels, and signage. It can also work for short, punchy subheads or pull quotes when a bold, vintage voice is desired, but will appear dense in long passages.
The overall tone is showy and assertive, evoking classic Western and turn-of-the-century display lettering. Its spurred details and dense black shapes give it a theatrical, headline-forward personality that feels nostalgic and slightly playful rather than refined.
The design appears intended as a dramatic display serif that channels historic show-card and Western-inspired lettering through exaggerated weight, high contrast, and distinctive forked terminals. Its construction prioritizes impact and recognizable silhouette over neutral readability.
At text sizes the tight counters and deep notches can darken lines quickly, while at larger sizes the forked terminals and bracketing become the main character-defining features. The design maintains a consistent, carved quality across the alphabet, with sturdy horizontals and crisp slab-like feet that still read as serifed and decorative rather than purely geometric.
