A condensed serif with heavy, even-weight strokes and crisp, ink-trap-like corners. Serifs are small and flared with beaked terminals, giving many strokes a chiseled, slightly wedge-ended finish. Counters are tight and vertical stress is implied more by proportion than contrast, producing a tall, compact rhythm. Round letters are narrow and upright, while joins and crotches stay sharp, emphasizing a carved, sign-painter feel over book typography.
Best suited for display work such as posters, headlines, labels, and signage where a compact width and strong presence are advantages. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want a classic, carved-serifs character, especially when set in short phrases or stacked layouts.
The letterforms evoke a vintage, frontier-adjacent tone—confident, punchy, and slightly theatrical. Its narrow stance and emphatic terminals read as attention-seeking and nostalgic, suitable for bold statements rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-saving display serif with a vintage, sign-inspired voice. Its flared serifs and sharp terminals prioritize distinctive silhouette and impact at larger sizes, while keeping a consistent, dark color in lines of text.
The texture is dark and uniform, and the condensed proportions amplify word shape and line density. Numerals share the same narrow, sturdy construction; curves and diagonals end in distinct, squared-off or beaked details that help maintain a consistent, engraved look across the set.
