A condensed display serif with heavy, uniform strokes and sharply cut, flared terminals that read as chiseled or engraved rather than softly bracketed. Curves are tightened and often squared-off at joins, with narrow interior counters and a compact rhythm that stacks tightly in text. The uppercase shows strong vertical emphasis and sturdy serifs, while the lowercase keeps the same dense color with simplified, blocky bowls and short, firm arms. Numerals match the set’s weight and compactness, with squared shapes and minimal stroke modulation for a consistent, poster-ready texture.
Best used for short-form display typography such as headlines, posters, event or venue signage, sports-themed branding, and bold packaging labels where its condensed width and carved terminals can be appreciated. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but the dense color and tight counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The face conveys a tough, utilitarian confidence with a vintage poster sensibility. Its carved terminals and compressed proportions give it an industrial, no-nonsense tone that feels suited to bold announcements and emphatic headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, combining traditional serif cues with sharpened, decorative terminals for a rugged, poster-oriented voice. It emphasizes vertical strength and a uniform stroke texture to stay legible and imposing in large-scale applications.
Spacing appears designed for tight setting, producing a dark, continuous typographic color; the distinctive flaring at stroke ends becomes a key identifying feature at larger sizes. The design maintains a consistent silhouette across cases, prioritizing impact over delicate detail.
