A condensed serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and tightly controlled proportions. Vertical stems are dominant and end in wedge-like, subtly bracketed serifs, while curves are compact and well-contained, producing a firm, upright texture. The weight distribution feels sturdy, with clear stroke modulation that stays consistent across the alphabet. Counters are relatively narrow and the overall spacing is restrained, creating a dark, confident rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings where a condensed, high-impact serif is needed—headlines, posters, mastheads, and packaging that benefits from a classic but forceful tone. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, where its dense texture and crisp terminals add emphasis without requiring wide measure.
The font conveys a punchy, old-style editorial tone—serious and assertive, with a hint of vintage signage and newspaper display. Its narrow build and emphatic terminals add drama and urgency, while the serif structure maintains a formal, traditional voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, combining traditional serif cues with flared terminals to heighten impact. Its disciplined proportions and strong verticality suggest a focus on confident display typography for editorial and branding contexts.
Lowercase forms show a compact, sturdy construction with short extenders and a dense color, while caps read especially stately due to their tall, vertical emphasis. Numerals share the same condensed, high-contrast-in-spirit silhouette, with strong top/bottom shaping that helps them feel display-ready.
