A condensed display serif with heavy vertical stress, tight internal counters, and strongly tapered, bracketed serifs. Strokes show pronounced contrast: broad, weighty stems paired with finer joins and notches, creating crisp interior cut-ins on forms like E, F, S, and 2. The overall geometry is upright and compact, with squared shoulders and flattened terminals that read as flared rather than slabby. Lowercase maintains a tall, dominant presence with dense rhythm and short extenders, while figures are stout and blocky with squared curves and sharp interior apertures.
Best suited for posters, mastheads, logotypes, and on-pack branding where dense, high-impact letterforms are desirable. It works particularly well for vintage-themed signage, editorial display lines, and titles that need a compact footprint without sacrificing presence.
The tone is bold and declarative, evoking vintage signage and old-style poster typography with a slightly theatrical, Western-leaning flavor. Its tight proportions and hard-edged detailing give it an authoritative, attention-grabbing voice suited to headline-led compositions.
The design appears intended as a condensed, high-impact display serif that channels historical signage and poster traditions through exaggerated weight, tapered serifs, and crisp interior sculpting. Its forms prioritize strong silhouette and dramatic texture for attention at large sizes.
The spacing and condensed width create a strong vertical cadence, while the deep notches and narrow counters increase texture at larger sizes. The design emphasizes impact over openness, so it reads most confidently when given room and contrast against clean backgrounds.
