A heavy, italic serif with compact proportions and a strong rightward slant. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal contrast, while terminals end in sharply notched, forked wedges and small mid-stem spurs that create a carved, stamp-like silhouette. Counters are tight and apertures are relatively closed, producing dense letterforms with pronounced interior corners. The overall rhythm is punchy and uneven in an intentional way, with lively, angular junctions and sturdy bracketing that keeps the forms cohesive in text.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its bold color and distinctive spurred terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, badges, and logo-style wordmarks. It can also work on packaging or labels that aim for a retro or Western-leaning personality, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The design reads as assertive and energetic, mixing classic Americana poster flavor with a sporty, competitive bite. Its pointed terminals and chunky weight add a rugged, workmanlike tone that feels vintage and slightly aggressive, suited to attention-grabbing display settings.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact and character through chunky, low-contrast strokes and ornamented wedge serifs. The forked terminals and spurs suggest an intention to evoke vintage display typography—part athletic, part frontier—while staying legible enough for bold, slogan-length text.
In the samples, the italic slant and forked terminals create strong horizontal motion, while the dense counters and sharp internal angles can build a dark texture at smaller sizes. Numerals match the letterforms’ weight and wedge-like finishing, maintaining a consistent, poster-oriented color across mixed content.
