A condensed serif with tall proportions, tight spacing, and strong vertical emphasis. Strokes are largely even but terminate in widened, flared endings that read as softened wedges rather than crisp bracketed serifs. Curves are slightly squared and geometric, with rounded corners that keep the heavy forms from feeling brittle. Counters are compact, vertical ovals in letters like O and D, and bowls in B/P/R are stacked and contained. Lowercase follows the same condensed, sturdy construction with a two-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and straight-sided m/n; numerals are dense and blocky with consistent weight and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, high-impact voice is needed—headlines, posters, labels, and signage. The condensed build helps fit long titles into narrow spaces, while the flared endings provide enough character for branding and packaging without requiring additional ornamentation.
The overall tone feels confident and poster-ready, mixing a retro display sensibility with a utilitarian, stamped look. The flared terminals add a subtle decorative finish that suggests heritage signage and classic headline typography without becoming ornate.
Likely intended as a bold, space-efficient display serif that nods to traditional sign lettering and vintage print while staying clean and systematic. The design balances strict vertical structure with subtly expressive terminals to add personality at larger sizes.
Capitals are particularly uniform in width and rhythm, giving lines a steady, architectural texture. The question mark, ampersand, and punctuation in the sample text maintain the same heavy, condensed presence, supporting cohesive headline composition.
