A condensed, heavy serif with pronounced flare at stroke ends and wedge-like serifs that broaden from the stems. The design keeps contrast relatively even, reading as sturdy and dark, with compact counters and a strongly vertical, upright skeleton. Curves are slightly squared-off and the joins feel robust, giving letters a carved, punchy silhouette. The lowercase is compact with a straightforward, readable construction, while capitals and figures maintain a tall, columnar rhythm suited to tight setting.
Best suited for display settings where density and impact are needed: headlines, subheads, posters, and bold branding systems. It can work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes, but its dark color and narrow build favor concise text and larger sizes over long-form reading.
The font projects a bold, old-style headline energy with a confident, no-nonsense tone. Its flared endings and condensed mass suggest vintage signage and newspaper-era display typography, leaning toward dramatic and assertive rather than delicate or refined.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space while retaining a traditional serif voice. The flared, wedge-like endings provide a distinctive signature that echoes vintage print and signage aesthetics, emphasizing solidity and immediacy.
Spacing appears tight by nature of the condensed proportions, creating a dense texture in text lines. The numerals and capitals carry especially strong presence, and the flared terminals add visual motion that keeps large sizes lively without relying on high contrast.
