A condensed, heavy serif with sharp wedge-like terminals and a slightly incised, beveled feel. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, while corners and joins are tightened into angular notches that give the outlines a cut, mechanical rhythm. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, and the overall texture reads dense and vertical, with firm caps and numerals designed for strong silhouette clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, mastheads, and prominent branding where a compact width and strong vertical emphasis help text stay punchy. It also works well on packaging and labels that benefit from a classic-but-tough display voice and crisp edge definition.
The tone is stern and theatrical, evoking vintage headline typography with a faint blackletter-adjacent severity. Its crisp wedges and compressed proportions communicate urgency and authority, leaning toward a rugged, industrial kind of classicism rather than delicate refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while retaining a traditional serif identity. Its wedge terminals and chiseled details suggest a deliberate nod to engraved or old headline styles, optimized for bold, attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase forms keep a squarish, blocky presence (notably in C, G, and S), while the lowercase mixes sturdy stems with simplified bowls and relatively tight apertures. Numerals follow the same squared, compact logic, reinforcing a consistent, sign-like impact across the set.
