A condensed, all-upright serif design with tall lowercase proportions and strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes are mostly straight with crisp, chamfered corners and small incised notches that create a beveled, cut-metal impression. Serifs are narrow and flared rather than slabby, with wedge-like terminals that accent the top and bottom of key stems. Counters skew rectangular and compact (notably in C, O, and D), while diagonals and joins stay sharp and engineered. The overall color is dense and display-oriented, with tight interior space and a disciplined, geometric construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where tight, vertical emphasis is helpful and the carved details can read clearly. It can also work for branding marks and short logotypes that want a vintage-industrial or western-leaning flavor; for longer text, it benefits from generous size and spacing.
The font conveys a sturdy, workmanlike tone—part old poster woodtype, part industrial signage. Its sharp notches and flared terminals add a decorative bite that reads as vintage and slightly theatrical, making it feel assertive and attention-seeking without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a condensed display serif that amplifies presence through height, tight width, and chiseled corner detailing. Its consistent angular vocabulary suggests a focus on impactful, print-era styling for attention-grabbing titles and branding.
Uppercase forms are particularly monolinear and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same compressed skeleton and angular detailing for consistency. Numerals match the squared, chiseled language, staying narrow and high-contrast in silhouette, which helps the set feel cohesive in large sizes.
