A condensed serif with sturdy, low-modulation strokes and pronounced flared serifs that expand at the ends of verticals. The forms are tall and tightly set with compact counters, giving the letters a vertical, poster-like stance. Serifs appear wedge-like and slightly bracketed, and many joins and terminals resolve into sharp, chiseled points, especially visible in C, S, and the lowercase a, c, and s. The lowercase shows a relatively high x-height for the overall narrow width, with firm, straight-sided stems and rounded bowls that stay restrained rather than expansive. Numerals follow the same condensed, upright construction with strong vertical emphasis and crisp, sturdy endings.
This face is best suited to display sizes where its condensed proportions and flared serifs can deliver strong presence—magazine headlines, mastheads, event posters, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for short blocks of editorial text such as pull quotes or subheads when a dense, emphatic texture is desired.
The overall tone feels classic and forceful, balancing old-style signage energy with a polished editorial presence. Its condensed rhythm and emphatic flaring create a sense of urgency and impact, suggesting headlines with a slightly historical or frontier-leaning flavor without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient, high-impact serif for display typography, combining condensed structure with distinctive flared finishing to create recognizable silhouettes. Its construction prioritizes bold readability and a commanding vertical rhythm for titling and branding.
The set maintains consistent vertical stress and a disciplined, blocky silhouette across caps, lowercase, and figures. Diacritics are not shown; the sample demonstrates that the face retains its character in multi-line settings, where the narrow proportions and sharp terminals create a dark, commanding texture.
