A compact, heavy display serif with tall, condensed proportions and a strongly squared construction. Strokes are uniformly thick with tight counters, while many terminals flare into wedge-like, bracketed serifs that feel cut or stamped rather than calligraphic. Curves are restrained and often squared off (notably in C, G, and S), producing a rigid rhythm and a slightly mechanical texture across words. The lowercase is robust and blocky with short ascenders/descenders, and the figures follow the same squared, muscular logic for a consistent, poster-ready color.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short typographic statements where a strong, condensed presence is needed. It can work well for sports branding, labels/packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a rugged, vintage-industrial feel, and it also fits signage-inspired layouts when set with generous tracking.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a retro, workwear character—part western poster, part industrial signage. Its sharp wedges and compact spacing give it a commanding, no-nonsense voice that reads as energetic and headline-driven rather than delicate or literary.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a decorative serif identity. The wedge terminals and squared curves suggest a deliberate reference to historic poster and display traditions, optimized for bold, attention-grabbing typography.
The design leans on flat-sided bowls and angular joins, creating a distinctly geometric silhouette even where traditional serif structures appear. The narrow internal spaces and dense stroke mass suggest it will look strongest at medium-to-large sizes where the stepped curves and small counters can breathe.
