A tightly condensed display serif with tall, vertical proportions and a disciplined, mostly even stroke presence. Stems are straight and rigid, with frequent forked/spurred terminals and small mid-stem notches that give the outlines a cut, chiseled rhythm. Curves are minimized and often squared-off, producing an octagonal, beveled impression in bowls and counters (notably in C, G, O, and the numerals). The lowercase maintains a compact, workmanlike structure with narrow apertures and dense internal spacing, keeping word shapes dark and columnar.
Best used at display sizes for posters, titling, branding marks, and packaging where a condensed, high-impact voice is needed. It can also suit signage and editorial headers where a vintage or Western-inflected tone is desired, especially with slightly increased letterspacing.
The overall tone evokes Old West posters and vintage woodtype while also reading as stern and utilitarian. Its sharp spurs and compressed stance create a dramatic, slightly ominous energy suited to punchy, attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to modernize a woodtype-inspired condensed serif by adding crisp, forked terminals and beveled shaping for extra bite and texture. Its emphasis on verticality and repeating spur motifs suggests a goal of delivering strong presence in short lines and titles while preserving a period, poster-driven character.
In text samples, the narrow set and dark color create strong horizontal bands; generous tracking can help the spurred details stay distinct. Numerals and capitals share consistent chamfered geometry, reinforcing a unified, sign-like personality.
