A condensed serif with strongly flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that broaden as they meet the baseline and cap line. Strokes stay fairly even in weight, producing a solid, compact texture, while counters are tight and vertically oriented. Curves are controlled and slightly squared-off, and joins and terminals resolve into crisp points rather than rounded endings. The overall rhythm is vertical and insistent, with narrow letterforms and short extenders that keep lines dense and economical.
Best suited to display settings where tight width and strong vertical emphasis are assets—headlines, magazine or newspaper titling, posters, and bold brand wordmarks. It can work for short text blocks or pull quotes when a dense, authoritative texture is desired, but its compact counters and sharp detailing suggest using comfortable sizes and spacing for extended reading.
The face reads as assertive and traditional, with a slightly theatrical, headline-forward presence. Its sharp flares and compact proportions evoke classic print typography and give text a confident, declarative tone rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic condensed serif voice with flared endings, maximizing impact and economy of space while maintaining a traditional, editorial character.
In the samples, capitals dominate with tall, narrow silhouettes and pronounced flares on letters like A, M, N, and W, which reinforces a poster-like stance. Numerals follow the same condensed, sturdy construction, helping mixed text maintain a consistent color.
