A condensed serif with pronounced contrast and strongly modeled strokes. Vertical stems dominate, expanding into wedge-like, flared terminals that read as sharp, chiseled serifs rather than flat slabs. Curves are tightly drawn with teardrop and beak-like joins in places, giving counters a pinched, sculptural feel; diagonals and apexes are crisp and pointed. The lowercase shows compact bowls and a firm rhythm, with tall ascenders and deep, narrow shapes that keep the overall texture dense and emphatic.
Best suited to display settings where impact and character matter: headlines, poster titles, magazine or editorial cover lines, brand marks, and packaging. It can work for short callouts or subheads, while longer passages may feel dense due to the narrow forms and tightly packed counters.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a classic, poster-like authority. Its sharp flares and dramatic contrast suggest vintage display typography—confident, slightly eccentric, and attention-seeking without feeling playful or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful display presence by combining condensed proportions with sculpted, flared endings and sharp, high-contrast detailing. The consistent wedge terminals and tightly controlled curves aim for a refined yet dramatic look reminiscent of vintage editorial and poster lettering.
At text sizes the strong contrast and tight interior spaces create a dark color and a punchy, high-impact line of type. Numerals are similarly condensed and stylized, matching the same flared, wedge-ended construction for a consistent headline voice.
