A tall, tightly condensed serif with sturdy vertical strokes and compact counters. Serifs are small and bracketed, with frequent spur-like projections and forked-looking terminals that create a slightly ornamented silhouette. Curves are controlled and vertical stress dominates, while joins and apertures often pinch into narrow notches that read like subtle ink traps. Uppercase forms are elongated and commanding; lowercase is similarly narrow with compact bowls, a single-storey a, and a hooked, descending g. Numerals follow the same condensed, vertical rhythm for strong alignment in display settings.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, posters, and short display lines where a compact width is useful and the spurred terminals can add personality. It can also work well for branding and packaging that wants a vintage or editorial flavor, especially when set with generous leading or paired with a simpler text face.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, combining a classic serif framework with spurred details that feel editorial and slightly showman-like. It evokes vintage poster typography and old-style headline setting, with an attention-grabbing narrowness that feels urgent and bold in voice without becoming playful.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while retaining a traditional serif voice. The added spurs and pinched joins introduce a signature texture, aiming to make large-type settings feel distinctive, structured, and unmistakably authoritative.
Spacing appears tight by default, amplifying the vertical cadence and making word shapes feel columnar. The distinctive spur and notched detailing becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the terminals and brackets contribute extra texture and a crafted, print-like character.
