A condensed, heavy display face with tall proportions and mostly monoline strokes. Terminals frequently end in small wedge-like cuts and flared slab shapes, creating a chiseled silhouette and a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel. Counters are tight and vertical, curves are simplified into sturdy ovals, and the overall rhythm is compact and emphatic, with modest width variation from glyph to glyph. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, print-like structure with single-storey forms and sturdy bowls, matching the uppercase’s bold, sculpted presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where its condensed mass can deliver impact in limited horizontal space. It also works well for logos, labels, and packaging that want a vintage or Western-leaning voice, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The tone reads as Western and poster-driven, with a bold, showbill energy and a touch of vintage signage. Its wedge-cut terminals and condensed stance give it a rugged, theatrical character that feels lively rather than formal.
The design appears intended to provide an attention-grabbing, hand-cut display look that evokes vintage poster lettering and rustic signage. Its consistent heavy strokes and distinctive wedge terminals prioritize personality and immediate recognition over long-form readability.
At larger sizes the distinctive terminal shapes and narrow spacing create a strong texture and memorable word shapes; in dense paragraphs the tight counters and compact widths can make it feel visually loud. Numerals follow the same condensed, slabbed logic, staying consistent with the display intent.
