A tightly condensed serif with tall proportions, compact counters, and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation, with stems that subtly broaden toward terminals and small bracketed, flared endings rather than blunt slabs. Curves are narrow and upright, with pointed apexes and crisp joins; the overall drawing feels sharp and slightly tensioned. Spacing is economical and the texture forms a dark, continuous column, while details like the hooky tails and tapered terminals add a chiseled, display-oriented finish.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, posters, and cover typography where vertical emphasis and a dense, high-impact texture are desirable. It can also work for logotypes and packaging that need a classic serif voice in limited horizontal space, while longer passages will feel heavy and tightly packed unless given generous size and leading.
The tone is commanding and slightly theatrical, pairing old-style seriousness with a poster-like intensity. Its condensed heft reads as editorial and headline-driven, suggesting urgency, drama, and a classic print voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-efficient serif with heightened presence—combining condensed proportions with flared, tapering terminals to create a distinctive, dramatic silhouette for display typography.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and narrow, producing a strong billboard-like presence. Numerals match the condensed stance and carry the same tapered, flared finishing, keeping the set visually cohesive in dense settings.
