A tall, tightly set serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins, paired with sharp, flared terminals that widen into wedge-like endings. The proportions are markedly condensed with strong vertical emphasis and compact internal counters, giving words a dense, columnar rhythm. Serifs feel sculpted and tapered rather than blocky, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are drawn with crisp transitions and thin connecting strokes. Lowercase forms keep a compact, upright stance with a modest x-height and narrow apertures, while numerals follow the same high-contrast, engraved logic.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, subheads, posters, magazine titling, and brand marks where its condensed vertical rhythm can save space and add impact. It can also work for book covers and pull quotes, especially when set with generous leading and careful tracking.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, combining classic print formality with a slightly dramatic, show-poster edge. Its narrow build and sharp flare details create an attention-grabbing voice that reads as editorial and authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence in a condensed footprint, using high contrast and flared terminals to maximize drama and clarity at display sizes. It prioritizes a strong vertical silhouette and sculpted detailing for impactful titling.
At larger sizes the hairlines and flared stroke endings become a defining texture, while the condensed spacing can make long passages feel dense. The design’s verticality and tapered serifs produce a chiseled, poster-ready silhouette in both caps and mixed case.
