A compact serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced flared stroke endings that swell into tapered, bracket-like terminals. Stems are heavy and confident, while joins stay crisp, producing a carved, poster-like silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and the overall fit feels compressed, giving words a dense texture and a tall, columnar rhythm. The serif treatment reads as wedge/flared rather than slab, with sharp, slightly calligraphic transitions on letters like E, F, T, and the lowercase a, c, e.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display work where impact and character are priorities—editorial titles, posters, branding marks, book covers, and packaging. It can work for subheads and pull quotes, but the dense texture and tight counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The tone is commanding and slightly theatrical, with a classic, print-era flavor. Its condensed proportions and flared terminals evoke display typography from editorial headlines and vintage signage, projecting seriousness and impact rather than neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a condensed, high-impact serif voice with a distinctive flared terminal language—bridging classic editorial authority with a display-oriented, attention-grabbing silhouette.
Capitals feel tall and structured with a consistent vertical emphasis, while the lowercase maintains sturdy stems and compact apertures. Numerals match the same compressed, weighty voice, keeping a cohesive color across mixed alphanumeric settings. In the sample text, the dense spacing and stout strokes create a strong typographic presence even at moderately large sizes.
