A highly condensed serif with tall, elongated proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp, tapered terminals and small bracketed serifs that read as sharp and slightly flared. The design emphasizes narrow counters and tightened interior space, with occasional wedge-like feet and pointed joins that give the outlines a cut, engraved feel. Lowercase forms keep a fairly standard structure but are drawn with the same compressed width, producing a compact, columnar texture in text.
Best suited for display work where height and drama are assets: posters, book or film titles, editorial headlines, packaging, and compact logotypes that need a tall presence without taking much horizontal space. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels when a period-flavored, condensed serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is dramatic and old-world, evoking poster typography and turn-of-the-century display lettering. Its narrow, towering shapes feel formal and theatrical, with a faint Gothic/Victorian edge that suggests spectacle, headlines, and period atmosphere rather than everyday neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow measure, combining classic serif structure with stylized, sharpened details for a distinctive display voice. The intent reads as space-efficient headline typography with a vintage, poster-like character.
At text sizes the tight spacing and narrow counters can create a dark, packed color, while at larger sizes the sharp terminals and distinctive condensed silhouettes become the main personality. Numerals follow the same tall, compact construction, keeping a consistent vertical emphasis across mixed text.
