A tightly condensed serif with strong vertical emphasis, heavy stems, and compact counters. Serifs are pronounced and bracketed, with occasional beak-like terminals that add sharpness without becoming spiky. The contrast reads as moderate: thick verticals dominate, while horizontals and connecting strokes stay firm and substantial. Proportions are tall and narrow across caps and lowercase, producing a dense rhythm and a dark, ink-forward texture that holds together in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other short-to-medium settings where space is tight but impact is needed. It also fits mastheads, book or magazine covers, and bold editorial callouts where a dense, classic serif voice is desirable.
The tone is commanding and traditional, evoking editorial typography and historic display work. Its condensed heft feels urgent and declarative, lending a slightly theatrical, headline-driven character while remaining grounded in conventional serif cues.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow measure, combining traditional serif detailing with a compact, high-impact silhouette for attention-grabbing typography.
Round letters stay compact and upright, and diagonals (such as in V, W, and X) are steep, reinforcing the narrow footprint. Numerals match the same tall, condensed stance, helping mixed text maintain consistent color and vertical drive.
