A tall, tightly set serif design with strongly condensed proportions and a firm vertical stress. Strokes are relatively even with clear thick–thin modulation, and terminals resolve into small, bracketed serifs that feel crisp rather than slabby. Curves are kept narrow and controlled, giving counters a compact, upright rhythm; joins and corners lean slightly angular, reinforcing a carved, poster-like solidity. The overall color on the page is dark and emphatic, with consistent alignment and a disciplined, vertical silhouette across letters and figures.
Best suited to display and short-text settings where space is tight but impact is needed—headlines, mastheads, posters, and book or album covers. It can also serve for pull quotes or section openers in editorial layouts, where its dense vertical rhythm adds hierarchy and a classic voice.
The font projects a confident, traditional tone with an editorial seriousness. Its condensed stance and sharp finishing details add a slightly theatrical, headline-driven intensity, suggesting classic print authority rather than casual modernity.
The design appears intended to deliver traditional serif authority in a space-saving, high-impact format. By combining condensed proportions with controlled contrast and crisp serifs, it aims to stay legible while maximizing presence in headline and title applications.
Uppercase forms read especially monumental due to the tall caps and narrow widths, while lowercase maintains a practical, readable structure within the same compressed framework. Figures are similarly condensed and sturdy, matching the text’s vertical emphasis and giving numeric settings a cohesive, old-style print feel.
