A condensed serif with strong vertical stress and distinctly flared stroke endings that read like wedge serifs. Stems stay broadly consistent in weight, while joins and terminals swell or taper to create a chiseled, poster-like rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and the overall silhouette is tall and columnar, with compact curves on C/G/S and narrow bowls on B/P/R. Lowercase forms keep a steady x-height and show sturdy, slightly squarish construction; i/j have small square dots, and the figures are narrow with simple, upright forms.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, signage, and brand marks where a tall, compact footprint is useful. It can add character to packaging and labels that aim for an old-world or showbill atmosphere, and it works well when you need strong impact in limited horizontal space.
The overall tone feels vintage and performative, recalling classic poster lettering and old-style signage. The sharp flares and compressed proportions give it a confident, assertive voice with a touch of theatrical flair. It suggests heritage and spectacle more than quiet editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, attention-grabbing serif with a distinctive flared-terminal signature. Its proportions and terminal treatment prioritize personality and vertical rhythm for titling and branding rather than extended small-size reading.
The flared terminals are a defining feature across the set, helping maintain clarity despite the condensed width. The typeface holds a consistent, vertical texture in lines of text, but the tight spacing and narrow apertures make it feel most comfortable at larger sizes where the distinctive terminals can read clearly.
