A condensed display serif with heavy, sculpted strokes and distinct flared, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms are upright and tightly proportioned, with a strong vertical emphasis and compact counters that create dense, dark word shapes. Stems swell subtly into the serifs, and many joins and terminals feel carved rather than mechanical, giving the outlines a chiseled, poster-like presence. Round letters stay controlled and narrow, while diagonals (V, W, X) are sharp and emphatic; numerals are similarly weighty and compact for consistent color in mixed text.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable—such as editorial spreads, book or film titling, posters, mastheads, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when used with generous leading and spacing to prevent the forms from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, evoking a classic, old-style display sensibility with a slightly theatrical edge. Its narrow build and flared details suggest tradition and authority while remaining attention-grabbing and headline-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact width, combining traditional serif cues with flared, carved terminals to create strong, memorable silhouettes. It prioritizes impactful word-shapes and a confident vertical stance for display typography.
The rhythm is tightly packed with minimal breathing room inside counters, which increases impact at larger sizes. Capitals appear especially commanding and monolithic, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, no-nonsense texture that reads as intentionally dense rather than delicate.
