A condensed serif with high contrast and distinctly flared stroke endings, giving verticals a sharpened, tapered feel rather than blunt terminals. The letters are tall and tightly set, with long ascenders/descenders and a compact footprint that increases vertical emphasis. Serifs are small and pointed, and many joins show wedge-like transitions that keep the texture crisp. Counters are relatively narrow, and rounded forms (like O/C/G) appear slightly squarish through tightened curves and firm, controlled modulation.
This font is well suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper-style titling, book covers, and poster typography where a compact width and strong vertical presence are useful. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that want a classic serif voice with sharper, more stylized terminals than a typical text serif.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, with a slightly theatrical, poster-era sharpness. Its condensed silhouette and pointed details convey seriousness and sophistication, while the flared terminals add a touch of vintage display character.
The design appears intended to deliver an economical, space-saving serif with elevated contrast and flared terminals that read as both traditional and distinctly stylized. It prioritizes striking rhythm and a crisp silhouette for display settings while retaining enough serif structure to feel editorial and formal.
In text, the face creates a strong vertical rhythm and dark, even color, with punctuation and numerals matching the same tapered, high-contrast logic. The narrow proportions and firm serifing make it visually assertive at larger sizes, while smaller sizes may feel dense due to tight counters and strong contrast.
