This typeface is a condensed display serif with strong vertical stress and clear stroke modulation. Stems are heavy and confident, while joins and terminals often taper into wedge-like or subtly flared endings, giving the shapes a carved, sculptural feel. Counters are relatively tight and elongated, with compact apertures and a rhythmic, vertical texture. Uppercase forms are tall and stately; lowercase shows a sturdy, compact build with a single-storey ‘a’ and a sharp-shouldered ‘r’, reinforcing a punchy, compressed silhouette. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-impact construction with crisp curves and sturdy verticals.
Best suited to display settings where a dense, commanding texture is desirable—such as headlines, magazine or newspaper-style mastheads, posters, book covers, and branding or packaging that benefits from a compact yet dramatic voice. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but its compressed proportions and strong weight favor larger sizes over long text.
The overall tone feels editorial and high-impact, blending classic print gravitas with a slightly theatrical, poster-ready attitude. It conveys confidence and formality while retaining a fashionable, vintage-leaning bite that reads as intentional and crafted rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with sculpted terminals and a classic editorial silhouette. Its intent seems to be a distinctive, authoritative display face that remains cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The design maintains a consistent condensed rhythm across cases, with pronounced verticals and controlled curves that keep word shapes tight and emphatic. Contrast is expressed through tapered curves and wedge-like terminals rather than delicate hairlines, helping it stay solid and dark at display sizes.
