A condensed serif with strong vertical emphasis and a pronounced flared treatment at stroke ends. Stems stay largely uniform through the shaft and then widen into tapered, beak-like terminals and compact wedge serifs, producing a sharp, chiseled silhouette. Counters are relatively narrow and the curves are tightly drawn, while joins and terminals remain crisp and controlled. The overall rhythm is sturdy and upright, with a clear, tall lowercase presence and consistent spacing that keeps lines compact and punchy.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, packaging, and brand wordmarks where a compact width and strong terminal detail can carry the design. It also works for short editorial callouts and pull quotes, especially when set with generous leading to let the vertical forms breathe.
The tone is bold and authoritative with a distinctly vintage, poster-like edge. Its pointed terminals and compressed proportions create a dramatic, slightly theatrical feel, suited to messaging that wants to read as confident and emphatic rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to combine compact economy with a distinctive flared serif signature, creating a high-impact serif that feels classic yet assertive. The consistent stem behavior and repeated terminal motifs suggest an emphasis on recognizability and display presence across letters and figures.
In text, the dense proportions and pronounced terminal shaping create strong word images and high impact at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same flared, beaked finish, giving figures a cohesive, display-forward character.
