A condensed, heavy serif with stout verticals and compact counters. The serifs are short and strongly bracketed, with noticeable flare where strokes meet terminals, giving the shapes a carved, chiseled feel rather than a crisp, hairline finish. Curves are tight and robust, and the joins in letters like n, m, and h show slightly scooped transitions that read as subtle ink-trap-like notches at display sizes. Overall spacing is firm and rhythmic, supporting dense lines without feeling loose or airy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, mastheads, and packaging where condensed, high-impact typography is needed. It can also work for sports branding and promotional graphics that benefit from a tough, vintage-leaning voice, while longer passages will read densest and most comfortable at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and declarative with a vintage, workmanlike confidence. Its flared terminals and compact proportions evoke old poster typography and newspaper-era headline energy, leaning more rugged and emphatic than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in narrow horizontal space, combining condensed proportions with flared, bracketed terminals for a classic display-seriffed character. Its sturdy construction prioritizes strong word shapes and a consistent dark texture for attention-grabbing typography.
The lowercase shows strong, simplified forms with a single-storey a and compact apertures that keep the texture dark and even. Numerals are similarly sturdy and condensed, matching the headline-forward color of the letters and maintaining consistent visual weight across mixed text.
