A tightly condensed serif with pronounced verticality and clear stroke modulation that swells into flared, wedge-like endings rather than flat slabs. Stems are sturdy and the contrast is noticeable but controlled, with tapered joins and pointed interior terminals that create a sharp, carved rhythm. Counters run narrow and tall, producing an efficient texture; the lowercase sits at a moderate x-height with compact bowls and relatively short extenders. Numerals and capitals keep the same upright, compressed stance, with crisp serifs and strong, poster-like silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where compact width and strong presence help fit more characters per line. It can also work for logos, labels, and packaging that benefit from a vintage-leaning, authoritative voice, while extended body copy will typically require careful sizing and spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and slightly theatrical, combining a vintage display feel with editorial seriousness. Its compressed forms and flared finishing strokes suggest classic headlines, signage, and print-era typography where impact and hierarchy are prioritized over softness.
This design appears intended to deliver high-impact typography in limited horizontal space, using flared serif shaping and tapered details to add character and tradition without resorting to decorative complexity. The goal is a distinctive display serif that reads confidently in editorial and branding contexts.
In text settings the face builds a dense, dark color with prominent vertical stems; the flared terminals add personality and a subtle calligraphic edge without becoming ornate. The narrow apertures and condensed counters favor larger sizes and shorter line lengths where the distinctive rhythm reads cleanly.
