This typeface is tightly set and strongly vertical, with tall proportions and compact counters that create a dense, poster-like texture. Strokes show a noticeable flare into the terminals, producing wedge-like, bracketed endings rather than flat slabs. Curves are slightly pinched and the joins feel crisp, giving the letterforms a carved, chiseled impression. Overall spacing is narrow and the rhythm is energetic, with sharp terminals and high-impact silhouettes that hold together well at display sizes.
It fits best in headlines and titling where a condensed footprint and strong presence are needed, such as posters, mastheads, book covers, and packaging. The narrow build helps when space is limited, while the flared terminals add character that suits editorial and promotional design.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, leaning toward classic show-poster and headline typography rather than quiet text setting. Its flared terminals and condensed stance suggest a vintage editorial voice—confident, slightly dramatic, and intentionally attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compressed width, combining classic serif structure with flared, tapering terminals for a distinctive display voice. The emphasis on tall silhouettes and crisp joins suggests it was drawn to stand out in large sizes and short lines of text.
In the sample text, the strong vertical stress and tapered finishing strokes create a distinctive sparkle, especially where diagonals and curved letters meet. Numerals match the condensed, high-impact feel and read as sturdy, compact figures suited to prominent settings.
