A condensed serif with sturdy verticals and distinct flared stroke endings that broaden subtly at terminals, creating a carved, slightly wedge-like feel. Serifs are bracketed and pointed in places, and many joins taper into narrow waists before swelling again, producing a lively rhythm across stems and curves. Counters are relatively tight and the fit is compact, while the tall lowercase gives the face a high-waisted, elongated silhouette. Numerals and caps maintain the same compact, vertical emphasis, with crisp diagonals and angular apexes that read cleanly at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and title treatments where vertical emphasis and a compact footprint are desirable. It can work effectively for brand marks, packaging, and poster typography that benefits from a classic yet punchy serif presence, especially in larger sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, balancing old-style gravitas with a touch of theatrical drama. Its compressed stance and flared finishes evoke vintage print headlines and classic poster typography, lending text a confident, slightly formal voice.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact typography in limited horizontal space, using flared terminals and bracketed serifs to add character and clarity. Its proportions and rhythmic tapering suggest a focus on display communication with a traditional, editorial sensibility.
In the sample lines, the strong vertical cadence and tight spacing create a dense, headline-like texture; the flared terminals help keep individual letters distinguishable despite the narrow proportions. The design feels optimized for impact rather than relaxed, long-form reading.
