A condensed display serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and subtly flared terminals that act like restrained serifs. The forms are tall and compact, with straight-sided stems, squared shoulders, and tight counters that create a dense vertical rhythm. Curves are controlled and slightly squared off, keeping rounds like C, O, and G firm rather than soft. Lowercase proportions read large and utilitarian, with simple construction and minimal detailing beyond the flare at stroke ends.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and bold editorial typography where a tight measure and strong vertical cadence are desirable. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and signage that needs a compact, forceful voice without ornate detailing.
The overall tone is assertive and functional, with an industrial, editorial edge. Its compressed width and strong vertical emphasis give it a commanding, space-efficient presence suited to attention-getting text.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in narrow space, combining condensed proportions with flared terminals to add a serifed identity while preserving a robust, utilitarian texture.
The design maintains a consistent, disciplined rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals, favoring compact apertures and blunt curves for clarity at display sizes. The restrained flaring provides a serifed feel without delicate hairlines, keeping the texture solid and even.
