A condensed, heavy serif with a strong flared construction: vertical stems broaden into wedge-like terminals and short, angular serifs. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with compact counters and a squared, chiseled silhouette that stays consistent from caps through figures. Stroke contrast is minimal, favoring uniform thickness and sturdy joins; curves are controlled and slightly faceted, giving rounded letters a carved, structural feel. Numerals and lowercase follow the same compressed proportions, producing a dense, high-impact texture in paragraphs and headlines.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but impact is required—posters, headline typography, storefront-style signage, and bold wordmarks. It can also work on packaging or labels that benefit from a vintage, industrial voice, particularly when set with generous tracking to open up the dense texture.
The tone is bold and declarative, evoking vintage signage and printed ephemera where letters need to read as solid shapes from a distance. Its chiseled flares and condensed stance suggest a practical, workmanlike confidence with a hint of old-time display drama.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, using flared terminals and wedge serifs to add character without relying on high contrast. It prioritizes bold silhouette and consistent, sturdy detailing for attention-grabbing display typography.
The narrow set width and compact apertures create a dark, continuous color, especially in longer lines. The wedge-like finishing details are prominent enough to signal “serif” clearly, while staying closer to a carved/engraved aesthetic than a delicate book face.
