A condensed serif with sculpted, flaring terminals that broaden into wedge-like serif shapes. Strokes show clear modulation, with sturdy verticals and tighter counters that create a compact, high-impact texture. Curves are smoothly tensioned and the joins feel carved rather than mechanical, giving letters like C, G, S, and a a crisp, controlled silhouette. The lowercase is compact with a straight-sided, two-storey a and a firm, upright ductus; numerals are similarly narrow and assertive, with strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display applications where vertical emphasis and strong letterforms are desired—magazine headlines, poster titles, book-cover typography, and brand wordmarks. In longer passages it can work for short bursts (subheads, pull quotes) where a dense, authoritative voice is beneficial.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, with a classic, print-forward presence that feels suited to headlines and declarative statements. Its condensed rhythm and flared details add drama and a slightly vintage, engraved flavor without reading as decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast serif voice with a distinctive flared finish—combining classical proportions with a more forceful, contemporary headline density. The consistent tapering and widening at terminals suggests a focus on punchy readability and memorable texture in larger sizes.
Spacing appears relatively tight for the width, producing a dense typographic color that amplifies impact at larger sizes. The flared endings and bracketed transitions are consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping the design feel unified in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
