A condensed serif with tall proportions and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes read as largely even in weight, while terminals broaden into sharp, flared wedge-like serifs that give corners a crisp, cut-in look. Curves are compact and controlled, with narrow bowls and a tight internal fit; counters stay small but clear. The overall texture is dense and assertive, with strong stem emphasis and angular joins that keep the silhouette clean and disciplined.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, mastheads, posters, and book or album covers where the condensed width and sharp flared terminals can carry the layout. It can also work for logotypes and packaging titles that need a formal, vintage-inflected voice, while longer passages will typically require careful spacing and comfortable line height.
The tone is authoritative and theatrical, blending editorial seriousness with a vintage, poster-like punch. Its sharp flares and condensed stance evoke old-style display typography and headline gravitas rather than casual everyday text.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, pairing a strong vertical structure with flared, wedge-like finishing to create a crisp, attention-grabbing serif texture. The consistent stroke feel and disciplined geometry suggest a display-first intent focused on impact and rhythm over extended-reading neutrality.
Uppercase forms feel especially statuesque, with pointed top serifs and tapered junctions that create a chiseled, almost engraved impression. Lowercase maintains a similarly narrow build, producing a compact line that benefits from generous leading. Numerals are sturdy and legible, matching the condensed rhythm and sharp terminal language.
