A condensed serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins, driven by a strong vertical axis. Serifs are sharply flared and frequently forked/spurred, creating pointed, wedge-like terminals and small mid-stem notches that add a carved, ornamental feel. The curves are taut and slightly angular, with narrow apertures and compact counters that keep the texture dense. Uppercase forms are tall and stately, while lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with energetic ascenders/descenders and distinctive, decorative terminals; figures follow the same crisp, high-contrast logic.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, mastheads, titles, and brand marks where its spurred terminals and crisp contrast can read as intentional detail. It can also work for short editorial bursts—pull quotes, chapter openers, and packaging callouts—when set with comfortable tracking and leading.
The overall tone is theatrical and old-world, with a confident, slightly severe presence. Its sharp spurs and flared serifs suggest a display-first personality associated with classic posters, headlines, and heritage branding rather than neutral running text.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing serif with ornamental spurs and flared terminals, combining a traditional display sensibility with a tightly packed silhouette for impactful typography in limited horizontal space.
In the text sample the dense rhythm and narrow internal spaces create a dark, emphatic color on the page. Pointed terminals and spur details remain visible at headline sizes, but the tight apertures and thin connecting strokes may require generous size and spacing to avoid crowding in longer passages.
