A condensed serif with a strong vertical rhythm and minimal stroke modulation. Stems are thick and steady, ending in subtly flared, wedge-like terminals that read as sharpened serifs rather than slabs. Counters are compact and mostly closed, with rounded bowls and tight apertures that keep color dense and even in text. The lowercase is compact with short-to-moderate extenders, and the figures match the same tall, narrow proportions for a consistent, poster-friendly texture.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and editorial layouts where a tall, condensed serif can deliver impact in limited horizontal space. It also works well for branding, packaging, and book or album covers that benefit from a classic, dramatic display flavor.
The overall tone is commanding and slightly old-world, evoking classic display typography used for headlines, playbills, and editorial titling. Its tight fit and emphatic terminals give it a dramatic, assertive voice that feels confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, high-impact serif with distinctive flared endings and a stable, vertical texture, balancing classic cues with strong display presence for titling applications.
In the sample text, the condensed width produces a strong columnar texture and allows long lines to stay compact. The flared endings add character at larger sizes, while the dense counters and narrow apertures suggest it will look most comfortable in titles and short bursts of text where its verticality can read clearly.
