A condensed serif with strong vertical emphasis and sharp, wedge-like flaring at stroke ends. Stems read as sturdy and consistent while curves and joins introduce clear contrast, giving counters a tight, sculpted feel. Capitals are tall and compact, with crisp beaks and tapered terminals; the lowercase is similarly narrow with a relatively tall x-height and firm, upright posture. Numerals follow the same compressed proportions with heavy verticals and pointed finishing strokes, keeping the overall texture dark and rhythmic.
Best suited to headlines and short-form settings where its condensed width and dark typographic color help fit more characters while maintaining presence. It works particularly well for magazine titles, posters, book covers, and branding applications that benefit from a traditional, high-impact serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and assertive, with a slightly theatrical, old-style display character. Its compressed stance and flared, incisive terminals create a confident, editorial voice that feels traditional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif with distinctive flared terminals, combining classic forms with a sharpened, attention-grabbing finish. Its proportions suggest a focus on strong vertical rhythm and space-efficient display typography.
Across the sample text, spacing appears tight and the vertical strokes dominate, producing a dense, high-ink color that holds together well in large sizes. The flared endings and beaked details add a distinctive bite that becomes more apparent in titles and short lines.
