A condensed serif with tall proportions and pronounced, wedge-like flared terminals that broaden at stroke ends rather than forming flat slabs. Strokes show a clear vertical emphasis with modest modulation, and many joins are smoothly bracketed, giving counters and apertures a slightly sculpted, carved feel. The lowercase is compact with a fairly even rhythm, while capitals are narrow and commanding; numerals follow the same condensed, tapered logic for a cohesive texture in running text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It can work well for editorial titling, vintage-inspired branding, and packaging that benefits from a condensed serif with dramatic terminals.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, with a vintage, poster-like flavor that reads as confident and slightly theatrical. Its narrow set and flared finishing details add a sense of motion and drama without feeling overly ornamental, making the voice feel assertive and editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, combining condensed proportions with flared serif behavior to create a strong, classic display voice. Its consistent narrowing and tapered terminals suggest a focus on impactful titling and attention-grabbing emphasis rather than neutral text settings.
In longer lines the dense color creates strong typographic presence, while the sharpened terminals and tight widths can become visually busy at very small sizes. The style’s flared endings and compressed counters give it a distinctive headline texture that stands out from conventional book serifs.
