A condensed, italic serif with assertive vertical stress and visibly flared stroke endings that broaden into tapered, bracketed terminals. Strokes are sturdy and relatively even, with crisp joins and a slightly carved, poster-like finish. The rhythm is tight and upright-leaning despite the slant, with narrow counters and tall proportions that create strong vertical momentum. Lowercase forms are compact and energetic, with a single-storey a and g, a compact, descending y, and a long, narrow f that reinforces the condensed texture. Numerals match the tall, poster-oriented stance, with sturdy curves and narrow apertures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short editorial settings where a dense, vertical texture and italic emphasis can work as a focal point. It can also serve well in packaging and branding for labels that want a vintage, dramatic voice and strong shelf impact.
The overall tone feels vintage and performative, blending editorial seriousness with a touch of marquee drama. Its condensed italic stance reads confident and urgent, suggesting display typography meant to command attention rather than disappear into body text.
The design appears aimed at delivering high-impact display typography with a condensed footprint and an italic, forward-leaning energy. Flared terminals and bracketed serifs provide a distinctive signature that enhances recognition in titles and brand-forward applications.
In continuous text the tight spacing and narrow internal counters create a dense, high-impact color on the page. The distinctive flaring at stroke ends gives headlines a sculpted, slightly Art Deco–adjacent character while maintaining classical serif cues.
