A condensed serif with tall capitals, compact sidebearings, and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes are mostly even through the stems but swell subtly into flared terminals, creating crisp, wedge-like endings rather than heavy slabs. Curves are tight and controlled, with pointed or sharply turned joins in letters like M, N, V, W, and k, and a narrow oval structure in O and 0. The lowercase is similarly compact, with sturdy stems, small, efficient counters, and clear punctuation and numerals that keep a strong, poster-like presence at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titling, posters, and book or magazine covers where a condensed, high-impact serif is needed. It can also work for logos and short branding lines that benefit from a strong vertical stance and distinctive flared terminals, while longer text will feel dense and attention-forward.
The overall tone feels vintage and editorial, with a commanding, slightly theatrical seriousness. Its condensed proportions and flared endings evoke traditional print and headline typography, giving text a confident, declarative voice suited to attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif voice for display typography, combining a traditional silhouette with flared stroke endings to add character and emphasis. Its tight spacing and tall forms prioritize punchy readability and a strong typographic color in titles.
The design emphasizes verticality: ascenders and capitals read tall, while many bowls stay narrow, producing a tight texture in paragraphs. The flared stroke endings add a crafted, engraved-like feel without becoming ornate, helping it remain legible and assertive in bold headlines.
