A condensed serif with tall proportions and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes are strongly weighted with moderate contrast, combining long straight stems with compact bowls and tight counters. Serifs are small but emphatic, appearing bracketed and slightly flared, giving the joins a carved, chiseled feel. Terminals are sharp and clean, and curves are kept taut, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words and headlines.
Best used for headlines, mastheads, and display settings where a dense, attention-grabbing serif texture is desirable. It can also work for branding, packaging, and short pull quotes—especially when vertical emphasis and compact width help fit strong copy into limited space.
The overall tone is bold and commanding with a distinctly vintage, poster-driven flavor. Its narrow build and strong serif details create a dramatic, editorial voice that feels serious and slightly theatrical, suited to statements that need presence without widening the line length.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, pairing traditional serif cues with a tightened, high-contrast display rhythm. It aims to read as classic and authoritative while staying punchy and space-efficient for titling and poster typography.
Spacing appears compact and the interior counters stay relatively tight, which increases color and impact but can reduce clarity at small sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same condensed, high-waisted structure, keeping a consistent, disciplined silhouette across mixed text.
