A condensed, heavy display sans with pronounced thick–thin contrast and subtly flared stroke endings. Curves are tight and vertically stressed, with narrow bowls and counters that stay open at larger sizes. Many joins and terminals show tapered or teardrop-like shaping, giving the forms a carved, slightly calligraphic feel despite the overall sans construction. The lowercase is tall and sturdy, with compact apertures and a rhythmic, upright texture that reads as dense and emphatic.
Best suited to large-size applications where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated: headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short editorial display lines or pull quotes when a compact, attention-grabbing texture is desired, but its dense strokes make it less appropriate for long body text.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, leaning toward vintage advertising and headline typography. Its sharp contrast and sculpted terminals add drama and a sense of showmanship, while the condensed width keeps it punchy and space-efficient. It feels confident and slightly ornate without becoming decorative script.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a condensed silhouette with high-contrast shaping and signature tapered terminals. It aims to evoke a classic display sensibility while remaining clearly sans in structure, prioritizing personality and punch over neutrality.
The glyphs show strong vertical emphasis and a consistent narrowing across the set, with distinctive droplet-like terminals on letters such as C, S, a, and g that create a recognizable signature. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-impact construction, with curving forms and tapered details that help them match the letterforms in headline settings.
