A decorative serif with compact, block-like construction and sharply defined terminals. Stems are heavy and largely straight, while the serifs are small, pointed, and slightly flared, producing a beaked look rather than broad slabs. Counters tend toward squarish forms with crisp interior corners, and the overall rhythm is sturdy and segmented, with occasional angular joins (notably in diagonals) that add bite. Numerals share the same squared geometry and strong horizontals, keeping a consistent, sign-lettering feel across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where bold shapes and pointed serifs can carry personality. It can also work for logotypes and packaging that want a vintage or western-leaning tone, especially when set with generous tracking and ample whitespace.
The face evokes classic display lettering with a frontier and industrial poster sensibility—confident, punchy, and a little rugged. Its sharp serifs and squared curves suggest heritage and authority while retaining a decorative edge suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended as a statement display serif that borrows from traditional sign lettering, emphasizing strong verticals, squared forms, and beaked serifs for immediate impact. Its construction prioritizes distinctive silhouette and thematic character over neutrality, making it ideal for branding and titling.
The sample text shows strong presence at larger sizes, where the sharp serifs and boxy counters read clearly and create a distinctive texture. In longer lines, the dense weight and angular details can build a dark typographic color, favoring shorter phrases over extended reading.
