A condensed display serif with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are tall and straight with hairline joins and small, bracketed serifs that read crisp at display sizes. Curves are compact and upright, with tight apertures and a generally rectangular rhythm across rounds like C, O, and Q. Lowercase follows the same compressed, columnar build, with sturdy bowls and tapered terminals that keep texture dense and even across lines.
Best suited for display typography where space is tight but impact is needed—headlines, subheads, posters, magazine mastheads, and bold brand marks. It can also work on packaging or labels that benefit from a tall, condensed serif voice, especially when set at larger sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone feels assertive and stage-ready, blending a classic, old-style seriousness with a slightly dramatic, poster-like flair. Its narrow proportions and high-contrast strokes create a sense of urgency and sophistication that suits attention-grabbing headlines. The texture suggests a vintage editorial or playbill mood rather than casual everyday reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compressed footprint, using high-contrast modulation and crisp serif detailing to create a refined but forceful display texture. It prioritizes vertical rhythm and headline authority, aiming for a classic-yet-dramatic impression.
The numerals are similarly condensed and high-contrast, matching the uppercase’s verticality for consistent headline settings. The sample text shows strong color and tight spacing behavior, creating an impactful, compact block that favors short lines and prominent hierarchy.
