A tightly condensed serif with tall proportions, firm vertical stress, and a compact rhythm. Strokes are largely uniform with only subtle modulation, while details carry the character: small wedge-like serifs, occasional forked/spurred terminals, and squared-off joins that create a slightly engineered feel. Counters are narrow and vertical, and the lowercase shows compact bowls with short, sturdy arms. Figures are similarly condensed, with simplified, upright forms that align cleanly to the cap height.
Best suited to display settings where space is tight and impact is needed, such as headlines, mastheads, posters, and packaging. It can also work for branded subheads or short editorial callouts where a condensed, authoritative texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels vintage and commanding—part newspaper headline, part poster display. Its narrow build and sharp terminal details give it a slightly dramatic, no-nonsense voice that reads as confident and purposeful rather than delicate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a strong condensed voice with classic serif credibility, using spurred terminal details to add distinction and a slightly ornamental edge without relying on high contrast.
In text, the tight apertures and dense spacing produce a dark, continuous texture that emphasizes verticality. The distinctive spur/fork details help differentiate shapes at larger sizes, but the condensed proportions can make similar forms feel closer together in long passages.
