A condensed slab-serif with tall proportions, sturdy vertical stems, and squared terminals that read as blocky, poster-friendly serifs. Strokes stay largely even, while edges show intentional irregularity—slight waviness, rough corners, and uneven inking that gives a printed-from-type or stamped feel. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is tight, producing a dense, vertical texture suited to short lines and display settings. Numerals and capitals share the same narrow build and firm, rectangular finishing, keeping the set visually consistent.
Best used for headlines, short statements, and attention-grabbing display typography on posters, signage, labels, and packaging. It also suits logotypes or wordmarks where a vintage, printed texture is desired, and works well in themed designs that reference Western, saloon, circus, or letterpress aesthetics.
The overall tone feels old-time and utilitarian, with a frontier or carnival-poster energy. The roughened outlines add a handmade, analog character that suggests letterpress, signage, or worn print ephemera rather than polished modern branding.
Designed to deliver a strong, condensed slab-serif presence with an intentionally imperfect, inked edge—prioritizing character and period flavor over clinical precision. The goal appears to be high-impact display type that evokes historical print and signage traditions.
The narrow fit and heavy color create strong impact but can build darkness in longer paragraphs, especially where repeated verticals stack. The distressed edge treatment is prominent enough to become a defining feature at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes it may read as texture rather than detail.
