This typeface uses condensed proportions with tall capitals and a compact set width that creates a dense vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with subtle contrast and noticeable flaring at terminals that forms wedge-like serifs rather than flat slabs. Curves are tightened and slightly squared-off in places, with crisp joins and short horizontal arms that keep counters relatively narrow. The overall texture is dark and emphatic, maintaining consistent weight and strong edge definition across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a condensed, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well for posters, branding lockups, labels and packaging, and signage that benefits from strong vertical emphasis and a classic-but-utilitarian finish.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking signage, posters, and traditional print where impact and clarity matter more than delicacy. Its flared endings add a hint of classic formality, giving it a vintage editorial flavor while still feeling practical and robust.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, combining compact proportions with flared serif detailing to retain a traditional typographic feel. The emphasis is on bold legibility and a consistent, sturdy texture for display-driven applications.
In text settings the narrow width produces a tight, column-friendly color, while the large, solid forms keep individual words prominent. Round letters stay upright and contained, and the numerals match the same compact, sturdy construction for cohesive display use.
