A tall, condensed serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp hairline-to-stem transitions. The letterforms are built from sturdy, rectangular main strokes paired with thin connecting strokes and small, flared serif details that read like carved or stamped edges. Counters are compact and mostly squared-off, with consistent, disciplined spacing that reinforces a strong vertical rhythm. Several joins and inner corners show notch-like cut-ins reminiscent of ink-trap shaping, adding bite and clarity to the dark silhouette.
Best suited for display settings where a compact footprint and strong vertical punch are useful—headlines, poster typography, mastheads, labels, and branding marks. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where its dramatic contrast and narrow set add emphasis without consuming much horizontal space.
The overall tone feels vintage and theatrical, with a confident, poster-like presence. Its sharp contrast and narrow proportions create a dramatic, slightly gothic editorial flavor—formal and assertive rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, condensed display voice with a classic serif foundation, combining rigid architecture with sharp contrast and decorative corner detailing to maximize impact at larger sizes.
Capitals stay rigid and architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same condensed DNA and clean, upright stance. Numerals are similarly narrow and high-impact, maintaining the same straight-sided geometry and sharp detailing for cohesive titling across alphanumerics.
