A condensed display serif with extremely thick main strokes and hairline-thin counters and joins, creating a striking stencil-like tension inside many letters. Serifs are slabby and squared off, with crisp, flat terminals and minimal bracketing, while bowls and shoulders read as tall and tight. The overall rhythm is strongly vertical: narrow proportions, high contrast, and compact apertures that form prominent interior slits in glyphs like A, B, D, O, and 8. Lowercase forms maintain the same compressed, high-contrast logic, with sturdy stems, small apertures, and sharply cut details that stay consistent across letters and numerals.
Best used in display settings such as headlines, posters, mastheads, event titles, and bold packaging fronts where its condensed width and dramatic contrast can command attention. It can also work for short logotype-style wordmarks and strong section headers, especially when set with generous tracking or ample whitespace.
The font projects a bold, poster-era confidence with a refined, slightly formal edge. Its high-contrast interior cuts add drama and a hint of marquee or playbill energy, making it feel performative and attention-seeking rather than neutral. The tone is assertive and classic, suited to statements that should look deliberate and stylized.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint while maintaining a classic serif structure. Its signature high-contrast interior cuts and squared slab terminals suggest a deliberate, decorative approach aimed at eye-catching editorial and promotional typography rather than long-form readability.
The typeface favors closed forms and narrow counters, which boosts impact at large sizes but can darken quickly in dense text. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast construction, with the 0 and 8 showing the characteristic interior slit and the 1 appearing as a simple vertical with slabbed presence.
