A tightly condensed serif with pronounced vertical stress and flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden at the ends of main strokes. Stems are heavy and compact, while joins and curves pinch into narrow waistlines, creating a crisp, sculpted silhouette. Serifs read as tapered wedges rather than slabs, and several glyphs show pointed apertures and notched transitions that emphasize a chiseled, engraved feel. The lowercase is compact with a firm baseline and short, sturdy extenders; counters are small and vertical, keeping texture dense and even in text.
This font is best suited to headlines and short-form settings where a dense, commanding voice is needed—mastheads, posters, cover lines, and packaging titles. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers in editorial layouts, especially when vertical economy and strong contrast against white space are desired.
The overall tone is assertive and formal, with a slightly theatrical, poster-ready intensity. Its narrow build and sharp flare details evoke traditional print display typography—confident, old-world, and attention-grabbing without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining a traditional serif foundation with flared terminals to heighten sharpness and presence. The consistent, sculptural stroke behavior suggests a focus on display legibility and a distinctive, authoritative texture.
The face maintains strong rhythm in all-caps, where the tall, narrow proportions and flared endings produce a columnar, architectural look. Numerals follow the same condensed, weighty logic, reading clearly at larger sizes and reinforcing the font’s headline-oriented personality.
