A compact, vertical display serif with chunky stems, tapered terminals, and small bracketed serifs that often flare into wedge-like feet. Many joins and corners show deliberate notches and stepped cut-ins, creating a carved, stencil-adjacent texture without fully breaking strokes. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, giving the alphabet a strong, poster-like rhythm, while stroke endings frequently narrow to points or angled tips. Lowercase forms keep simple, sturdy construction, and the numerals follow the same squared, cut-in logic for a consistent, blocky silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and branding where a condensed, high-impact serif is needed. It works especially well for themed applications such as Western, circus, saloon, or retro editorial callouts, and for packaging or labels that benefit from a vintage display voice.
The overall tone reads theatrical and old-timey, with clear cues from Western posters and circus-era advertising. Its sharp cuts and high-density black shapes feel bold and attention-seeking, adding a slightly rugged, hand-carved character rather than a refined book-serif mood.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space while injecting decorative personality through notched joins and flared, bracketed serifs. Its consistent block-and-cut construction suggests a deliberate reference to historical display lettering used in show bills, shop signs, and period advertising.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for display setting, with narrow interiors and prominent vertical emphasis helping words stack into tall, impactful lines. The distinctive cut-ins at the shoulders and the pointed, flared feet create strong texture at larger sizes, but can make fine details merge at very small sizes.
