A tall, tightly condensed serif with strong vertical emphasis and crisp, squared-off terminals. The strokes show a subtle modulation, with bracketed serifs and occasional hooked or flared endings that add a decorative, display-oriented edge. Counters are narrow and upright, with a consistent rhythm and compact spacing that reinforces a poster-like texture. Uppercase and lowercase share the same narrow architecture, and figures follow the same vertical, stacked proportions.
Best suited to display work such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and period-inspired signage where a tall condensed serif can carry personality. It can also work on packaging and labels that want a vintage or Western flavor, particularly in short phrases and titles rather than long reading text.
The overall tone reads as vintage and theatrical, evoking old posters, Western-era signage, and turn-of-the-century display typography. Its sharp terminals and compressed silhouette create a dramatic, authoritative voice that feels nostalgic rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver a condensed, attention-grabbing serif voice with historical display cues, prioritizing silhouette and terminal character for impact in titles and signage-style layouts.
The design relies on distinctive terminal treatments and compressed counters for character, so it looks most confident at larger sizes where the internal spaces and brackets remain clear. The narrow set and strong verticals create a dense, emphatic line color, especially in all-caps settings.
