A compact, vertically emphasized serif with pronounced flared terminals that read like small wedge serifs rather than slabs. Strokes stay largely even in weight, producing a solid, ink-trap-free silhouette, while corners and joins are crisp and squared-off for a machined feel. Counters are tight and apertures are relatively closed, reinforcing a dense texture in text. The lowercase is tall and narrow with simple, sturdy forms, and the numerals match the condensed, blocky rhythm for consistent color across mixed settings.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed build can maximize impact in limited horizontal space—posters, headlines, signage, and packaging titles. It can also work for short bursts of text (labels, captions, pull quotes) when a dense, authoritative texture is desired.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a vintage-industrial flavor that suggests signage, labeling, and early-to-mid 20th-century display typography. Its compressed proportions and flared terminals give it a slightly theatrical, noir-leaning presence while remaining disciplined and readable.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, space-saving display voice with a distinctive flared-serif signature—combining sturdy, uniform strokes with sharpened terminals to evoke classic industrial and poster lettering while staying coherent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The overall rhythm is strongly vertical, and the spacing appears tuned for tight composition, yielding a dark, continuous typographic band in paragraphs. Many letters show subtly tapered ends and small spur-like details that add character without introducing high contrast or calligraphic motion.
