A very heavy, condensed serif with assertive verticals and compact proportions. The strokes show subtle modulation and pronounced bracketed serifs that often flare and taper into wedge-like, cupped terminals, giving the letterforms a carved, poster-ready feel. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dense, with crisp edges and a consistent, upright rhythm that holds together well in all-caps as well as mixed-case settings.
Best used for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, and packaging labels where dense color and condensed width are advantages. It can also work for punchy brand marks and titling, but its heavy texture makes it less suited to long-form text at small sizes.
The font conveys a vintage, display-forward tone—confident, slightly theatrical, and reminiscent of classic headline typography. Its narrow, high-impact shapes feel suited to bold statements, with a hint of Old West or turn-of-the-century poster character rather than a neutral editorial voice.
The design intention appears to be a condensed, attention-grabbing serif for display typography, combining traditional serif construction with decorative, flared terminals to maximize presence in limited horizontal space.
The lowercase echoes the uppercase’s weight and terminal treatment, producing a strong, unified texture in running sample lines. Numerals are similarly stout and compact, designed to match the heavy headline color rather than disappear within it.
