A condensed serif with sturdy vertical stress and tapered, flaring terminals that read like subtle wedge serifs rather than flat slabs. Strokes stay fairly even through the midsections, then widen into sharp, triangular feet and heads, producing a crisp silhouette and high ink density without delicate hairlines. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, and the overall rhythm is tight, giving the alphabet a tall, columnar presence. Lowercase forms are narrow with pointed joins and pronounced terminals on letters like a, f, r, and t, while figures are similarly compressed and sturdy for headline use.
Works best in display settings such as headlines, magazine or newspaper titling, posters, and book covers where its condensed footprint and assertive terminals can carry visual hierarchy. It can also serve for short brand phrases or logotype-style wordmarks that benefit from a tall, compact, editorial look.
The face conveys a classic, print-forward tone with a slightly theatrical edge—serious and authoritative, but with enough stylized flare to feel vintage and display-oriented. Its tight proportions and emphatic terminals create a commanding, attention-getting voice suited to bold statements.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while retaining a traditional serif voice. The flared stroke endings add character and recognition, aiming for a confident, old-style editorial feel that stands out in titles and prominent text.
The contrast between straight stems and sharpened terminal flares is the defining motif, creating a consistent “chiseled” finish across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The condensed widths and dense color favor larger sizes, where the distinctive terminals and tight internal spaces remain clear.
