A tightly set, compressed serif with strong vertical emphasis and sharp contrast between thick stems and hairline connections. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving terminals a sculpted, engraved feel rather than blocky slabs. Counters are relatively small and the overall color is dense, with tall capitals and sturdy, column-like strokes. Curves transition into straights with crisp joins, and several glyphs show subtle notches and narrowing at junctions that read like ink-trap-style shaping to maintain clarity at heavy weight.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, title treatments, and other display applications where a dense, authoritative serif voice is needed. It works well on posters, book covers, and packaging where vertical emphasis and strong contrast can create a premium, editorial look. For longer passages, it will be most effective in larger sizes or with generous spacing to offset the compact counters and heavy color.
The tone is commanding and traditional, with a punchy, attention-grabbing presence suited to assertive messaging. Its compressed stance and dramatic contrast evoke classic newspaper headlines and vintage poster typography, balancing formality with a bold, theatrical edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a classic serif idiom, combining condensed proportions with high contrast and sculpted serifs to create a strong, editorially familiar display voice.
The digit set follows the same condensed, high-impact rhythm, with compact bowls and strong verticals that keep figures prominent in display settings. The lowercase maintains a conventional structure and readable proportions, while the heavy overall weight favors short lines and prominent typographic hierarchy.
