A condensed serif with tall proportions, tight spacing, and a distinctly vertical stance. Strokes are sturdy and largely even, with modest modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that read as small wedges rather than slabs. Counters are narrow and elongated, producing a compact rhythm, while terminals and joins stay clean and controlled for a disciplined, uniform texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same tall, compressed construction, keeping color consistent across mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines and subheads where space is limited but impact is needed, such as posters, editorial layouts, and packaging fronts. It can also work for short blocks of text, captions, and signage where a compact, assertive serif voice is desirable, especially at sizes large enough to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is firm and utilitarian, evoking a printed, workmanlike sensibility with a vintage editorial edge. Its narrow silhouette and strong presence give it an authoritative, poster-ready feel without becoming ornamental.
The font appears designed to deliver a strong, space-saving serif voice with consistent texture and a traditionally grounded construction. Its narrow set and sturdy detailing suggest an intention to balance legibility with high-density composition for display-led typography.
The design leans on straight stems and restrained curves, creating a steady cadence that holds together in dense paragraphs. The condensed forms emphasize verticality, making words feel stacked and efficient, with clear differentiation between capitals and lowercase despite the compressed width.
