A tightly condensed slab-serif with tall proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes are largely monolinear with squared-off terminals and chunky, rectangular slabs that read cleanly at the ends of stems. Curves (notably in C, G, O, S) are compressed into narrow ovals, while interior counters are compact and evenly controlled, giving the face a firm, mechanical rhythm. The lowercase keeps a high x-height and short extenders, with simple, straight-sided forms and occasional notch-like joins that add a slightly engineered, ink-trap-adjacent texture.
Best suited to display contexts where a compact footprint and high impact are needed—headlines, posters, product packaging, labels, and signage. It can also work for logo wordmarks or short UI labels where a tall, compressed voice helps conserve horizontal space.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking wood-type and storefront signage. Its narrow, punchy shapes feel confident and attention-seeking, with a subtle vintage/Western flavor that reads as rugged rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in narrow widths, combining sturdy slab terminals with compressed letterforms for a bold, space-saving display voice. Its rectilinear details and compact counters suggest a focus on clarity and punch in large sizes, with a nod to vintage sign and wood-type traditions.
Spacing appears tight and efficient, supporting dense headline setting. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared logic, staying tall and legible with minimal curvature and sturdy terminals.
