A tightly condensed slab-serif with a tall, rectangular build and strongly squared-off terminals. Strokes are largely even in thickness, with crisp right-angle joins and minimal rounding, creating a rigid, poster-like texture. Serifs read as bold, flat slabs that extend the vertical rhythm, while bowls and counters stay narrow and mostly rectangular, keeping the overall color dense and uniform. Numerals and lowercase follow the same compressed, vertical emphasis, with compact apertures and a consistent, engineered geometry.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a compact, high-impact word shape is needed. It can also work for logo lockups and short brand statements that benefit from a condensed, authoritative slab-serif voice, especially in settings that lean vintage, industrial, or western-inspired.
The font conveys a tough, no-nonsense tone—part industrial sign lettering, part vintage display. Its sharp corners and compressed proportions feel urgent and attention-grabbing, with a hint of old-time poster and frontier/wood-type attitude. The overall impression is strong, utilitarian, and deliberately rigid rather than friendly or conversational.
The design appears intended as a condensed display slab that maximizes impact in limited horizontal space. By pairing tall proportions with squared slabs and strict geometry, it aims to deliver a bold, vintage-leaning presence that remains highly structured and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
At display sizes it forms a striking vertical cadence and a pronounced “picket fence” rhythm in text, driven by frequent straight stems and narrow counters. The squared terminals and dense internal spaces make it feel built for impact, while long runs can read dark and compressed due to the tight proportions and enclosed shapes.
