A tightly compressed, right-leaning slab serif with heavy verticals and distinctive notched cut-ins that create a stencil-like break at key joins. Serifs read as chunky wedges and flats, with squared-off shoulders and compact counters that emphasize a dense, punchy texture. Curves are robust and slightly bulbous where they meet stems, while interior cuts and angled terminals add sharp rhythm and visual bite. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-impact construction, keeping a consistent dark color across lines of text.
Best suited to display work where impact matters: posters, headlines, event graphics, and short brand phrases. It can also work well on packaging or labels that want a vintage or Western-leaning voice, particularly at larger sizes where the cut-in details remain clear.
The tone is bold and theatrical, evoking vintage poster lettering and Western-inspired display typography. Its quirky cutouts and exaggerated compression add a slightly mischievous, novelty energy that feels loud, confident, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compressed footprint while adding personality through unconventional slab construction and deliberate notching. It prioritizes standout texture and thematic character over neutrality, aiming for memorable, poster-like typography.
The repeated notches and internal breaks become a defining motif in longer settings, producing a patterned, almost stamped texture. The strong diagonal stress and compact spacing make it feel fast and assertive, especially in all caps.
