A condensed serif with tall proportions and a pronounced vertical emphasis. Stems are sturdy and show subtle widening into flared stroke endings, with bracketed serifs that feel integrated rather than slab-like. Curves are compact and controlled, producing tight inner counters (notably in C, G, S, and e) and a firm, poster-like rhythm. The lowercase has a relatively tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders for its narrow set, helping density and uniform color, while angled joins in letters like k and v keep the texture sharp and assertive.
Best suited to display settings where space is tight and impact is needed—headlines, magazine mastheads, poster typography, and book-cover titling. Its narrow footprint and strong vertical rhythm also make it a compelling choice for packaging and labels that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is confident and slightly theatrical, combining old-style warmth with a modern, condensed punch. It reads as traditional and editorial, with a touch of headline drama that suggests heritage, gravitas, and formality without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif for display typography, balancing traditional letterform cues with flared stroke endings to maintain presence at large sizes. Its condensed proportions and dense color suggest a focus on strong headline performance and a distinctive editorial signature.
The punctuation and figures match the condensed stance and weight, keeping a consistent dark typographic color. Numerals appear sturdy and display-oriented, and the capital forms are especially statuesque, making the typeface feel well-suited to strong, vertical word shapes.
