A condensed serif with pronounced flared terminals that swell into wedge-like endings, giving the strokes a carved, sculptural feel. Stems are heavy and mostly uniform in thickness, with localized widening at terminals and joins rather than fully bracketed serifs. The uppercase is tall and compact, with narrow counters and a strong vertical rhythm; the lowercase follows with sturdy, upright forms and a straightforward, workmanlike construction. Overall spacing reads tight and efficient, emphasizing a dense texture and strong word shapes at display sizes.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and logo-style typography where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed. It can add a classic, editorial flavor to magazine titles, packaging, and signage, especially when set in short lines or all-caps where its vertical rhythm and dense color read most decisively.
The font conveys a vintage, no-nonsense tone—confident and slightly retro, with a hint of industrial signage and editorial gravitas. Its compressed proportions and emphatic terminals create a punchy, attention-grabbing voice that feels assertive rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited space by combining condensed proportions with emphatic flared terminals. Its sturdy forms and consistent wedge-like endings suggest a display-oriented serif meant to evoke traditional print and vintage signage while remaining highly legible at larger sizes.
The glyph set shown maintains consistent terminal behavior across letters, reinforcing a cohesive flared-serif identity. Numerals and caps appear designed to hold their weight in large settings, while the condensed build keeps headlines compact. The overall texture is dark and authoritative, with minimal ornament beyond the distinctive flaring.
