A condensed display serif with sharp, flaring wedge terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The vertical strokes dominate, while joins and curves pinch into narrow waists, creating a sculpted, almost blade-like silhouette. Serifs are not bracketed; instead they taper and flare abruptly, often forming pointed beaks on letters like C, G, S, and a. Counters are relatively tight and oval, and the rhythm is compact, giving words a dense, poster-like color. Numerals follow the same narrow proportions and tapered endings, with especially angular diagonals and compressed bowls.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, mastheads, and book or album covers where its narrow footprint and sharp contrast can create impact without requiring large widths. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a dramatic, heritage-leaning serif voice, especially when used in short phrases rather than long passages.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, leaning toward vintage headline typography and high-impact editorial styling. Its sharp terminals and tense curves add a slightly gothic, dramatic flavor that reads as attention-grabbing and authoritative rather than neutral or conversational.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize presence in a condensed space while using flared, pointed terminals and strong contrast to create a distinctive, ornamental serif texture. The intention reads as a headline-oriented style that references historical display serifs and wood-type/poster traditions, optimized for striking silhouettes and memorable word shapes.
The design relies on strong verticality and asymmetric, directional terminals that create a sense of motion even in static text. At larger sizes the crisp wedge details are a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and fine joins may become more visually dense.
