A condensed, display-oriented slab serif with blocky, chamfered terminals and an overall octagonal construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin behavior, with sturdy verticals paired with lighter connecting strokes, producing a crisp, high-contrast rhythm at larger sizes. Serifs read as blunt, bracketless slabs, and many joins and terminals are cut with angled corners rather than curves, giving the face a machined, stamped feel. Proportions are tightly set with narrow counters and compact spacing, while capitals and figures keep a tall, upright stance.
Best suited to headlines, posters, mastheads, and bold labeling where its condensed width and faceted slabs can carry personality and punch. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefit from a vintage-industrial or western-leaning voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the angular details stay clear.
The sharp corners and heavy slabs create an assertive, utilitarian tone that evokes signage, wood-type poster work, and old-time print ephemera. Its condensed silhouette adds urgency and drama, leaning toward a slightly theatrical, saloon/noir flavor without becoming decorative to the point of novelty.
The design appears intended to blend condensed efficiency with a sturdy slab foundation, using chamfered geometry to create a distinctive, print-forward texture. Its construction prioritizes impact and period-evocative character over softness or neutrality, aiming for strong recognition in display settings.
The face maintains a consistent angular motif across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with simplified curves that read as faceted rather than round. The narrow internal space and pointed/angled details can build strong texture in lines of text, making it feel more like a headline tool than a continuous-reading serif.
