A condensed serif with strong vertical emphasis and sturdy, slightly modulated strokes. Stems broaden into subtly flared, bracketed endings, giving the serifs a carved, wedge-like feel rather than flat slabs. Counters are compact and tall, with high-waisted bowls and narrow apertures that keep the texture dense. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, while caps are narrow and towering; overall spacing reads tight and headline-oriented.
Best suited to headlines and other large-size settings where its condensed width and dense color can create impact without consuming horizontal space. It works well for mastheads, poster titling, packaging labels, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a bold, vintage editorial presence.
The tone is assertive and vintage-leaning, reminiscent of poster titling and editorial display work. Its compressed proportions and flared serif language create a dramatic, no-nonsense voice that feels both classic and slightly industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow measure, pairing tall proportions with flared, bracketed serif cues for a confident, display-first texture. Its consistent vertical rhythm suggests it was drawn to hold together in compact headline lines while retaining classic serif character.
Round forms like C/O/Q are more oval than circular, reinforcing the vertical rhythm. The numerals follow the same condensed, upright stance and maintain the dense color, making the set feel consistent for titling and short numeric strings.
