A condensed slab-serif with compact proportions and a dense, vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as squared, block-like feet and caps that keep counters tight and forms emphatic. Curves (notably in C, O, and S) are restrained and slightly compressed, while joins and terminals stay crisp and flat. The lowercase maintains a tall presence with short extenders and sturdy details, giving text a tightly packed, poster-like texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and storefront-style signage where a compact width and strong texture are desirable. It also works for logo wordmarks and packaging titles that need a vintage, sturdy presence in limited horizontal space.
The overall tone feels assertive and workmanlike, with a vintage print flavor reminiscent of wood type and utilitarian signage. Its condensed stance and blunt slabs convey confidence and a slightly rugged, old-time character that can lean “Western” or industrial depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact slab-serif voice with a traditional print sensibility. Its square-ended serifs and dense proportions prioritize punchy legibility and a confident, heritage-leaning aesthetic for display typography.
At display sizes the squared serifs and tight counters create strong word shapes, while in longer lines the condensed spacing and heavy texture can build a dark, attention-grabbing color. Numerals match the condensed, blocky construction and align well with the capitals for impactful number-led headlines.
