This typeface is a compact, tightly set serif with noticeably flared stroke endings and short, wedge-like terminals that broaden from the stems. Letterforms are tall and compressed with a vertical axis and a controlled, moderate stroke modulation that stays crisp in both text and display sizes. Counters are relatively narrow and the rhythm is dense, with strong verticals, compact capitals, and rounded forms that finish in small beaks and hooks. The lowercase shows a sturdy, slightly calligraphic construction with bulbous joins, a single-storey “g,” and a distinctive, curved “y” descender; numerals follow the same narrow, upright proportions and firm terminal treatment.
It suits headlines and subheads where narrow width helps fit more characters into limited space, and where a strong, classic voice is desired. It also works well for editorial pull quotes, book and album covers, and branding that aims for a heritage or print-forward feel. In longer text, it is best used at comfortable sizes and with generous line spacing to balance its dense color.
The overall tone feels vintage and editorial, with a slightly theatrical, poster-era presence. Its narrow, emphatic silhouettes and flared endings create an authoritative, old-style seriousness that can read as classic, literary, or headline-driven depending on setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving serif with a pronounced, flared-terminal personality—combining classic, print-derived shapes with a condensed footprint for impactful display typography and assertive editorial settings.
In continuous text the compressed widths and tight internal spaces create a dark, energetic texture, while the flared terminals add character without the heaviness of slabs. The design’s strong vertical emphasis and distinctive hooks on letters like “J,” “y,” and “g” give it an immediately recognizable voice.
