A condensed display face with tall proportions, tight sidebearings, and sharply defined counters. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with mostly straight, vertical stems and compact, rounded-rectangle bowls that keep the interior spaces narrow. Terminals are crisp and squared-off, producing wedge-like joins and pointed interior angles in places, while curves remain controlled rather than fully circular. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with consistent cap height and a steady baseline, and numerals that match the same compressed, high-impact silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, and prominent titling where its compact width and strong contrast can create impact without consuming horizontal space. It also fits packaging and brand marks that want a condensed, authoritative voice, and works well in short pull quotes or signage when set with comfortable leading.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a classic editorial punch that feels both vintage and hard-edged. Its compressed, high-contrast construction suggests headlines, authority, and a slightly theatrical seriousness—evoking newspaper mastheads, posters, and dramatic titling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a tight measure: a condensed, high-contrast construction with controlled, squared curves that reads as both classic and emphatic. It prioritizes dramatic texture and vertical rhythm for display settings where a strong typographic voice is desired.
The sample text shows strong word-shape uniformity and a dense color on the page, making it effective for short lines and large sizes. The narrow counters and tight fit can feel intense in longer passages, especially where vertical stems repeat frequently, so line spacing and size choice will strongly influence readability.
