A compact, heavy display face with a tall lowercase and tightly contained letterforms. Strokes are robust but show clear modulation, with pinched joins and small, pointed wedge terminals that create a chiseled, inked-in look. Curves are slightly squarish and the counters tend to be narrow, giving the font a dense, punchy color on the page. Capitals are strong and upright with restrained width, while the lowercase keeps a simple, readable skeleton accented by sharp finishing cuts and occasional tapered entries.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where its dense texture and wedge-cut detailing can be appreciated—posters, book covers, editorial titling, and bold brand marks. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when generous leading and spacing are available.
The overall tone feels vintage and editorial, with a poster-like authority that reads as confident and slightly theatrical. Its pointed terminals and dark rhythm evoke old print work and headline typography rather than neutral UI text.
The font appears designed to deliver a strong, compact headline voice with a classic print sensibility, combining sturdy proportions with tapered, wedge-like terminals to add character and emphasis.
The design’s contrast is expressed less as calligraphic sweeping and more as localized pinching at joins and tapered terminals, which adds sparkle at large sizes without breaking the solid overall weight. Numerals follow the same compact, dark construction, maintaining a consistent headline color.
