A condensed, high-contrast serif with strongly tapered stems that swell into wedge-like, flared endings. The serifs read as sharp triangular spurs rather than flat slabs, and many strokes transition abruptly from thick verticals to hairline connections, creating a tense, chiseled rhythm. Counters are compact and openings are relatively tight, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and the numerals) stay controlled and upright. Overall spacing and sidebearings appear snug, reinforcing a dense, poster-like texture in text.
This font is best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and magazine display typography where its condensed width and flared details can read as intentional styling. It can also work for titles on book covers or brand marks that want a forceful, classic-leaning voice, especially at larger sizes where the hairline connections remain clear.
The tone is bold and commanding, with a distinctly old-style, engraved or display-press attitude. Its sharp flares and tight, vertical posture give it a formal, slightly theatrical presence that feels suited to punchy statements rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact measure, using flared, wedge-like terminals and strong contrast to project a refined but assertive display character. Its consistent vertical stress and sharp finishing suggest a goal of evoking traditional serif authority with a more dramatic, sharpened silhouette.
The design’s identity is carried by consistent wedge terminals and pointed joins, which add a crisp, almost carved finish at both baseline and cap-line. In the sample text, the heavy vertical emphasis and narrow set create strong line density and a headline-forward color.
