A condensed serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden at stroke ends, creating a carved, poster-like rhythm. Vertical stems dominate and remain sturdy, while joins and terminals sharpen into triangular serifs and beak-like finishes, especially visible on letters like C, G, S, and the diagonals of V/W. Counters are relatively tight and the overall texture is dark and compact, with clear, crisp apertures and a consistent upright stance. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, readable structure with sturdy bowls and compact proportions, and figures follow the same narrow, high-contrast silhouette with emphatic, flared endpoints.
Best suited to headlines, posters, mastheads, and short editorial callouts where the condensed width and flared terminals can deliver impact without needing large line lengths. It can also work for book covers and packaging that aims for a classic, print-inspired voice, while longer text benefits from generous tracking and comfortable leading.
The font projects a bold, historical tone—confident and slightly theatrical—evoking letterpress-era display typography and old-style poster branding. Its narrow, emphatic shapes feel authoritative and attention-grabbing, with a subtle frontier or circus-broadside flavor depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver strong presence in limited horizontal space, using flared terminals and wedge serifs to create a distinctive, old-world display texture. It prioritizes recognizable silhouettes and dramatic finishing to make titles and branding feel historic and assertive.
Spacing appears tight and the condensed width amplifies verticality, making the face feel tall and urgent in lines of text. The distinctive flare-and-wedge finishing gives even simple words a branded look, so the typeface reads as a display-first design even when set in paragraphs.
