A condensed, heavy serif with compact proportions and strongly vertical emphasis. Strokes remain largely even in weight, with subtle swelling into flared, wedge-like terminals that act as short, bracketed serifs rather than flat slabs. Counters are tight and apertures tend to be narrow, producing a dense texture in words while keeping letterforms crisp and upright. The lowercase is tall and sturdy, with single-storey forms where applicable and blunt, confident endings that reinforce the compressed rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where a tight, high-impact voice is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold editorial callouts. The condensed build helps fit long titles into narrow spaces while maintaining strong emphasis, making it a practical option for logotypes and branding that needs a sturdy, traditional edge.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, workmanlike character that reads as slightly vintage. Its compressed density and flared terminals give it a poster-like seriousness—more loud and declarative than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a condensed footprint, combining a consistent heavy weight with flared serif cues to add character without relying on contrast. It prioritizes solidity, compact economy, and a recognizable, slightly retro display presence.
Round letters (like O/C) feel vertically tensioned, and joins and curves are handled with minimal modulation, contributing to a strong, uniform color. The figures share the same compact build, with bold presence and simplified interior shapes that stay legible at display sizes.
