A condensed, rectilinear display slab with heavy, uniform stroke weight and squared-off terminals. The design emphasizes flat, block-like serifs and sharp internal corners, with occasional small notches and cut-ins that create a chiseled, stencil-adjacent feel without fully breaking strokes. Counters are tight and geometric, and the letterforms lean on verticality, producing a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text. Figures and capitals are tall and compact, with consistent, angular construction across the set.
Best used for headlines, short phrases, and branding marks where a compact footprint and strong presence are desirable. It works well on posters, labels, and signage—especially when you want a vintage-industrial or frontier-poster flavor—while longer passages may feel dense due to the narrow forms and tight interior space.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, channeling vintage wood-type and old poster lettering with an industrial edge. Its narrow proportions and hard corners add urgency and grit, making it feel suited to announcements, headlines, and signage that needs to read loud and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space, combining sturdy slab structure with ornamental notches for a distinctive, retro display voice.
In text settings, the tight spacing and compact counters create strong horizontal bands, especially in all-caps. The distinctive notched detailing gives extra character at larger sizes, where the angular cuts read as intentional styling rather than purely functional shaping.
