A compact, vertical serif display with thick, uniform strokes and sharply chamfered terminals. Counters are small and mostly rectangular, with squared shoulders and blunt joins that create a sturdy, machined silhouette. Serifs are minimal and wedge-like rather than bracketed, giving capitals a poster-ready, stamped feel. The lowercase keeps the same squared construction, with a single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and tight apertures that emphasize density. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic, with straight-sided forms and crisp corners for strong, even color in lines of type.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, high-impact voice is needed—headlines, posters, logotypes, badges, and product packaging. It also works well for signage and wayfinding-style applications where a condensed footprint and strong contrast against the background are beneficial.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking vintage signage, sports titling, and old industrial labeling. Its angular detailing and compressed stance read confident and slightly rugged, with a hint of frontier or railroad-era display typography.
The design appears intended as a condensed, high-impact serif display that borrows from vintage sign and poster lettering while using squared geometry and chamfered details for a sturdy, modernized stamp-like finish.
Round letters (C, O, G) are noticeably squared off, contributing to a geometric rhythm and a strong grid-like texture. The font maintains a consistent stroke weight across letters, so spacing and counter size do most of the work for differentiation, which can make smaller sizes feel tight but very impactful at display scales.
