A tightly condensed serif with pronounced vertical stress and sharp, wedge-like serifs. Strokes swing between thick stems and hairline joins, with crisp triangular terminals and occasional hooked or beaked details on curves and joins. The lowercase shows compact counters and a relatively large x-height for the narrow set width, while ascenders and capitals rise tall and columnar. Overall spacing is lean, producing a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short text where its narrow footprint and punchy contrast can work as a focal point. It performs well for posters, book covers, magazine mastheads, and branding that aims for a classic-dramatic or slightly gothic flavor, while dense body text may feel intense at smaller sizes.
The font reads as dramatic and slightly gothic, with an editorial, poster-forward voice. Its sharp terminals and compressed rhythm create a tense, theatrical tone that feels classic but intentionally stylized rather than strictly traditional.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in tight horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with sharp serif modeling for a distinctive, stylized display presence. Its consistent vertical rhythm and emphatic terminals suggest an aim toward striking titles and attention-grabbing editorial typography.
Curves tend to pinch into pointed joins, and several characters show distinctive spur-like features that add a handcrafted, display-oriented edge. Numerals follow the same condensed, vertical emphasis, maintaining a consistent dark color and strong silhouette across the set.
