A high-contrast serif with tall, narrow capitals and strong vertical emphasis. Stems finish in sharply bracketed, flared wedge serifs, giving the joins a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than flat slabs. Curves are taut and compact, with small apertures and tight interior counters that amplify the dark, poster-like color. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with short-to-moderate ascenders and a robust rhythm, while figures are heavy, upright, and similarly condensed, matching the punchy texture of the letters.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, and bold branding where its condensed capitals and sharp flared serifs can project presence. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, but the dense color and compact counters suggest using generous size and leading for longer passages.
The overall tone is commanding and theatrical, blending old-style gravitas with a modern, attention-grabbing punch. It reads as formal and assertive, suited to situations where a strong, authoritative voice is desired rather than a quiet, bookish one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and compact proportions, optimized for impact in display typography. The flared, wedge-like terminals and tight internal spaces emphasize drama and authority while keeping a controlled, formal structure.
In text settings the tight counters and dense spacing create a highly saturated line of type, with pronounced vertical strokes and crisp serif moments that stand out at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the displayed style maintains a consistent upright stance across letters and figures.
