A condensed display serif with heavy, low-contrast strokes and distinctly flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden at the ends of stems. The letterforms are tall and tightly proportioned with compact counters and a strong vertical rhythm, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. Serifs and joins feel carved rather than bracketed, with pointed interior notches and crisp cut-ins that emphasize the verticals. Numerals share the same condensed stance and weight, reading as sturdy and blocky with sharp, tapered details.
Best used for headlines, posters, signage, and branding marks where a compact, high-impact serif is needed. It suits packaging and labels that want a vintage or industrial voice, and works well for short editorial titles, pull quotes, and display typographic treatments where the condensed width helps fit more characters per line.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, evoking vintage posters, wood-type and old Western or circus-era display lettering without becoming ornate. Its compressed proportions and flared endings give it a dramatic, attention-grabbing voice suited to commanding titles. The texture feels mechanical and confident, leaning toward classic Americana and editorial headline energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a narrow footprint, combining sturdy, low-contrast structure with flared terminals to create a distinctive, old-style display presence. It prioritizes strong vertical rhythm and recognizable silhouettes for attention-oriented typography.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, and the condensed structure creates strong word shapes but can become dense in longer passages. The flared terminals introduce distinctive silhouettes (notably on vertical stems and diagonals), which increases character at large sizes and helps maintain presence in high-impact settings.
