A condensed serif with tall proportions, strong vertical emphasis, and pronounced flare where strokes meet the terminals and serifs. The serifs are sharp and wedge-like rather than blocky, giving the outlines a carved, tapering feel. Strokes read mostly even at a glance, but the joins and endings swell subtly, creating a rhythmic thick–thin impression without delicate hairlines. Counters are relatively tight and upright, and the overall texture is dense and steady, making words set with a compact, poster-like presence.
Best suited to display settings where a condensed, high-impact serif is needed—headlines, posters, labels, packaging, and branding marks. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or subheads, where its dense texture and flared detailing add character without requiring large widths.
The tone is assertive and slightly theatrical, with a vintage, display-forward character that suggests signage, headlines, and classic print ephemera. Its narrow build and flared endings create a confident, authoritative voice that feels both utilitarian and stylized.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow measure, combining classic serif structure with flared stroke endings to create a distinctive, crafted silhouette. It balances readability with a decorative edge, aiming for a strong, memorable typographic voice in editorial and promotional layouts.
The uppercase is especially statuesque, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, compact footprint; together they produce strong color and clear vertical rhythm in text. Numerals are bold and condensed, matching the letterforms’ firm stance and reinforcing the font’s punchy, attention-grabbing feel.
