A condensed serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed joins that give the strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. The forms are sturdy and compact, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the cap height and a generally even stroke color that reads confidently at display sizes. Curves show subtle swelling toward terminals, and several letters feature small notch-like cut-ins where strokes meet, adding crispness and preventing dark clumping. The lowercase is clean and workmanlike, with a straightforward two-storey feel in a and g, round dots, and a narrow, vertical rhythm throughout.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where a condensed footprint and strong presence are useful. It can also support branding and packaging that want a classic, print-forward voice, and it has the authority to work for book covers or editorial section titles.
The overall tone feels vintage and editorial, like traditional poster titling or old-style print ephemera rendered with a bold, crafted sensibility. Its flared endings add a touch of theatricality and historic gravitas while remaining direct and readable rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif voice with a traditional, print-era character. Flared terminals and small cut-in details suggest an aim for strong texture and crisp joins in dense settings while maintaining a familiar serif readability.
The caps present a strong vertical emphasis and compact counters, producing a dense, attention-getting texture in headlines. Numerals appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the same flared-terminal logic for a cohesive typographic color across mixed text.
