A compact, heavy serif with sharply sculpted contours and distinctive spurred, forked terminals. Stems stay largely uniform in weight while corners and joins show chiseled, inward notches that create an incised, decorative rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with flared tips and occasional mid-stem protrusions that give many letters a carved, woodtype-like silhouette. Counters are tight and vertical, and the overall spacing feels dense and authoritative, supporting strong headline color.
Best suited to posters, headlines, signage, and branding where a strong vintage or Western-inflected personality is desirable. It can also work for short subheads or package labels, especially when set with generous line spacing to let the carved details breathe.
The font projects a vintage, frontier-era energy—bold, rugged, and theatrical without becoming overly delicate. Its spurs and carved details evoke hand-cut signage and old poster typography, giving text a confident, attention-grabbing tone.
The design appears intended as a display serif that references historic woodtype and engraved letterforms, using spurs and incised shaping to add character while preserving solid, blocky readability at larger sizes.
In text, the repeated internal notches and forked terminals create a lively texture that reads as decorative at display sizes. The numerals share the same carved treatment and strong vertical stance, reinforcing a cohesive, poster-ready voice across letters and figures.
