A highly condensed serif with tall proportions, small counters, and a rhythmic, vertical emphasis. Strokes are mostly even, with crisp, angular joins and pointed or beaked terminals that create an etched, woodtype-like silhouette. Serifs are narrow and bracketed, often flaring into sharp wedge shapes, and several letters show subtle notch-like cut-ins that read as ink-trap inspired detailing. The overall texture is dark and compact, with tight interior spaces and a consistent, display-oriented construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and signage where vertical punch and compact width are advantages. It can work well for branding and packaging that want a vintage or Western-leaning voice, especially in short phrases where the tight counters remain clear.
The face evokes turn-of-the-century poster typography and frontier-era signage, combining a stern, industrial presence with a showbill flair. Its narrow stance and sharp detailing give it a dramatic, attention-seeking tone that feels both vintage and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended as a condensed display serif that references classic woodtype and poster lettering, prioritizing impact, economy of space, and a distinctive silhouette over comfortable long-form reading.
Uppercase forms lean toward rectangular geometry (notably C, D, O, Q) while maintaining distinctive, pointed finishing strokes that keep the design from feeling purely mechanical. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared-off logic, supporting cohesive headline setting.
