A condensed display serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and pronounced flared terminals that read like softened wedge serifs. Forms are tall and compact, with tight internal counters and slightly irregular stroke endings that give the silhouettes a carved, inked feel rather than a crisp geometric finish. The lowercase is narrow with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders, supporting dense setting, while caps are straight-sided and emphatic with minimal modulation. Overall spacing and rhythm feel consistent, with intentional idiosyncrasies in curves and joins that keep the texture lively at large sizes.
Best suited for posters, display headlines, and signage where its condensed proportions and flared terminals can read clearly at medium-to-large sizes. It can also work well for branding accents and packaging that benefit from a retro, theatrical personality, especially in short phrases and stacked lines.
The tone is punchy and characterful, evoking vintage signage and poster typography with a hint of western and carnival flair. Its narrow, upright stance and flared terminals create an assertive, attention-seeking voice that feels fun and a bit mischievous rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, vintage-leaning display voice in a space-saving width, combining classical serif cues with deliberately quirky, softened details for high-impact titling.
The numeral set matches the condensed, flared construction and maintains strong vertical emphasis. The sample text shows good word-shape clarity in headlines, while the dense, dark color suggests it’s best used with generous leading and tracking when set in longer lines.
