A condensed slab serif with tall, rectangular proportions and sturdy, squared terminals. Serifs read as block-like and mostly unbracketed, giving the letters a machined, architectural feel, while counters are compact and vertical stress is consistent. Stroke endings are crisp and geometric, with clear differentiation between straight stems and slightly lighter connecting strokes. The lowercase is similarly narrow with a normal-feeling x-height for the overall condensed build, and figures follow the same upright, poster-like rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where condensed width and strong slab details can carry across distance or busy layouts—posters, signage, labels, and packaging. It can work in short editorial subheads or pull quotes, but its dense color and narrow counters make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, evoking vintage signage and industrial labeling. Its compressed stance and rigid slab details give it a no-nonsense, authoritative voice with a subtle western and retro poster flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining a compressed structure with robust slab terminals for high-impact display typography. It targets applications that benefit from a vintage-industrial or western-leaning voice while remaining legible and structured.
Spacing and internal white space stay tight, creating a dark, efficient texture in lines of text. The design favors straight-sided forms and squared joins, prioritizing clarity and impact over softness or calligraphic nuance.
