A compact, heavy serif with tightly set proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Stems and terminals swell into subtly flared, wedge-like endings, with bracketed transitions that keep the joins smooth rather than abrupt. Counters are relatively small for the weight, apertures are firm and controlled, and the overall silhouette reads as dense and punchy. The lowercase maintains a conventional structure with sturdy arches and short, weighty arms, while caps remain tall and blocklike, emphasizing a condensed, headline-driven texture.
Best used where strong typographic presence is needed—headlines, posters, mastheads, and bold branding lockups. The condensed build makes it practical for space-constrained titles and packaging panels, and it can also suit sports or event graphics where compact impact and high contrast of form matter.
The font projects a confident, old-style display energy: bold, emphatic, and a little theatrical. Its tapered endings and compact width evoke vintage poster and newspaper headline sensibilities while still feeling clean and purposeful. The tone is commanding and attention-seeking, suited to messages that need urgency or authority.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining traditional serif structure with flared, tapered terminals for a distinctive display voice. The consistent heft and controlled counters suggest an emphasis on strong headline color and recognizable shapes at large sizes.
Stroke endings show consistent flare and taper rather than square cuts, creating a carved, chiseled impression in text. The numerals and punctuation carry the same heavy, compact build, reinforcing a uniform color in short lines and tight settings.
