A condensed, heavy serif with compact proportions and tight counters. Strokes are largely monolinear in feel, with crisp joins and squared-off geometry that reads strongly at display sizes. Serifs and terminals frequently form small forked or notched shapes, creating a chiseled, slightly ornamental edge without becoming delicate. The overall rhythm is vertical and punchy, with sturdy stems, short extenders, and numerals that match the same dense, poster-oriented color.
Well suited for headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed. It can also support bold brand wordmarks or section headers that benefit from a slightly rough-hewn, vintage-industrial flavor.
The font projects a rugged, workmanlike tone with a hint of vintage signage. Its sharp spurs and carved-looking terminals add grit and personality, giving it an assertive, utilitarian voice suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed format while differentiating itself through forked, spurred terminals. It aims for a sturdy, carved aesthetic that maintains consistent weight and legibility in large text settings.
The condensed width and dense interior spaces make the face feel dark and compact, while the repeated spurred terminal motif provides a distinctive texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Round letters remain tightly drawn, and diagonals keep a firm, engineered stance rather than a calligraphic one.
