A tightly condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and broad, flaring stroke endings that read as incised, wedge-like serifs rather than flat slabs. Vertical stems dominate, while horizontals and joins taper sharply, creating a crisp, chiseled rhythm. Counters are compact and largely closed in the heavier shapes, and curves terminate with pointed, tapered tips. The lowercase keeps a traditional, two-storey ‘a’ and single-storey ‘g’, with short, sturdy arms and minimal overshoot, emphasizing a dense, vertical texture in text.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, mastheads, and cover titling where its condensed width and sharp contrast can command space efficiently. It can also work for packaging and branding that want an engraved or old-style editorial voice, especially when used in short bursts rather than extended paragraphs.
The overall tone is forceful and theatrical, combining a classical, engraved sensibility with a compressed display posture. It evokes headline-era editorial typography—confident, slightly retro, and attention-seeking—without feeling playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow measure by pairing a compressed structure with flared, carved-looking serifs and dramatic contrast. Its letterforms aim for a historic, engraved flavor while maintaining a disciplined, vertical rhythm for bold display typography.
In the text sample, word shapes stack into a dark, continuous color, with punctuation and numerals matching the same tapered, flared logic. The condensed width and tight internal spacing make it most effective when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing to preserve clarity at larger sizes.
