A condensed, high-contrast serif with tall proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes transition quickly from hairline connections to weighty verticals, and many terminals finish in wedge-like, flared shapes rather than flat slabs. Curves are tight and controlled, with compact counters that create a dense texture in words. The overall construction feels crisp and slightly calligraphic, with pointed joins and occasional notch-like shaping where strokes meet, enhancing the sense of tension and speed.
Best suited to display typography where its condensed stance and sharp contrast can do the heavy lifting—magazine mastheads, poster headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging callouts where a refined but forceful presence is desired.
The font projects a dramatic, editorial voice—confident, slightly theatrical, and rooted in classic print typography. Its compressed width and sharp, flaring terminals add urgency and sophistication, giving text a fashion-forward, poster-like presence. The tone leans formal and authoritative, with a vintage edge that reads well in headline settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining classic serif structure with expressive flared terminals and high contrast to create a distinctive, print-minded headline face. Its tight fit and emphatic verticals suggest a focus on attention-grabbing titles and branding rather than long-form reading.
In continuous sample lines the narrow set and compact counters produce strong color and pronounced vertical striping, which can feel intense at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the same condensed, flared-terminal logic, helping maintain a consistent, striking texture across mixed-case and numeric copy.
