A condensed display serif with heavy vertical stems, compact sidebearings, and a tightly packed rhythm. Serifs are strongly flared and wedge-like, giving terminals a carved, chiseled feel rather than bracketed or slabby forms. Curves are constrained and squared-off in places, with narrow apertures and counters that read as rounded-rectangular in many letters. Stroke endings and joins emphasize verticality and sharp internal corners, producing a bold, uniform texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and signage where high impact and tight horizontal footprint are useful. It can also work for packaging fronts, labels, and logotype-style wordmarks that benefit from a vintage, flared-serif voice. For longer text, it performs better in short bursts such as pull quotes, section headers, and title treatments.
The overall tone is forceful and attention-grabbing, evoking vintage signage and headline typography. Its flared, engraved-like terminals suggest a Western or frontier poster flavor while still feeling structured and industrial. The dense color and narrow proportions communicate urgency and confidence in short statements.
The design appears intended as a condensed, high-impact display serif that blends classic flared terminals with a rigid, vertical structure. Its construction prioritizes strong silhouette and compact width, aiming to deliver a distinctive, poster-ready presence in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Capitals are tall and authoritative, and the lowercase follows the same condensed, sturdy construction, keeping word shapes compact. Numerals match the letterforms with the same vertical emphasis and tight counters, making them suitable for bold numeric callouts. The font’s texture becomes quite dark in paragraph-like settings, favoring display sizes over extended reading.
