A condensed serif with pronounced flared stroke endings that read like wedge serifs. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with subtle modulation and tight internal spacing that creates a dense, vertical rhythm. Terminals and serifs sharpen into pointed, blade-like forms, giving counters a slightly pinched, angular feel—especially in diagonals and joins. Uppercase forms are tall and compact, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable structure with crisp, narrow proportions and sturdy stems.
Best suited for display work such as posters, headlines, packaging labels, and book covers where a condensed, high-impact voice is needed. It can also serve for short branding lines or logotypes that benefit from a tall, compact footprint and distinctive flared detailing.
The overall tone is dramatic and slightly gothic, evoking vintage poster lettering and classic “old-world” print flavor. The sharp flares and compressed width add a theatrical intensity that feels bold and authoritative, with a hint of mystery and folklore.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, attention-grabbing serif with flared terminals that add character without relying on high contrast. Its narrow proportions and sharp wedge-like endings suggest a focus on bold display presence and vintage-inflected personality.
Numerals follow the same compact, flared construction, keeping a consistent color in text blocks. The tight width and sharp terminals make the face especially striking at larger sizes, where the pointed details and rhythm become a defining feature.
