A display serif with robust, fairly even stroke weight and tight interior curves, combining squared outer contours with rounded corners. Serifs are strongly bracketed and often flare into forked, spurred terminals that create notched silhouettes on verticals and shoulders. The overall construction feels compact and architectural, with blocky counters (notably in B, D, O, P, R) and a consistent rhythm of vertical stress. Numerals and capitals read wide and emphatic, while the lowercase maintains a tall x-height with assertive stems and distinctive terminal shaping that remains consistent across the set.
Best suited to display sizes where the spurred terminals and notched joins can be appreciated—posters, headlines, storefront/signage, and branding wordmarks. It can also work for short bursts of copy on packaging or labels when a strong vintage or Western voice is desired.
The font projects an old-time, poster-driven tone—confident, slightly rugged, and decorative without becoming overly ornate. Its spurred endings and squared forms evoke heritage signage and a Western or frontier flavor, giving text a punchy, assertive presence.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with decorative, forked terminal motifs, producing a bold, heritage display face that stands out in titles and signage. Its consistent, sturdy letterforms prioritize impact and character over neutrality.
The notched, fork-like detailing appears repeatedly on key joins and terminals (e.g., at the ends of horizontals and the tops/bottoms of stems), giving the face a carved, stamped look. Round letters like O and Q keep a compact, squarish feel, reinforcing a uniform, blocky texture in paragraphs.
