A tightly condensed display serif with tall proportions and a largely vertical, monoline-like skeleton that’s sharpened by distinct flared serifs and occasional wedge-like terminals. Curves are controlled and slightly squared-off, with rectangular counters and brisk, angular joins that keep the rhythm rigid and vertical. Uppercase forms read architectural and columnar, while the lowercase maintains a high, compact stance with short extenders and firm, flat terminals; numerals follow the same narrow, straight-sided logic for a cohesive, stamped look.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed width and crisp serif construction can read clearly—headlines, poster typography, mastheads, labels, and signage. It also works well for bold, space-saving branding applications where a tall, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a vintage-industrial flavor that can feel both formal and slightly dramatic. Its compressed stance and sharp serif shaping evoke signage, headlines, and period print work, lending a stern, noir-leaning presence to text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining a strict vertical structure with decorative serif flares for a distinctive, period-tinged display voice. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and compact word shapes for attention-grabbing titles and branding.
The font’s narrow set and strong vertical emphasis create dense word shapes with a pronounced tempo, especially in all-caps settings. The mix of flared serif details and squared internal spaces gives it a distinctive, engineered texture that stays consistent across letters and figures.
