A condensed serif with tall proportions and a distinctly vertical, poster-like stance. Strokes show noticeable tapering and subtle contrast, with small bracketed serifs that often flare into wedge-like terminals. The curves are narrow and controlled, with tight bowls and counters, while joins stay crisp and clean. Overall spacing and rhythm emphasize height over width, producing a dense, columnar texture that reads strongly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and cover typography where its condensed height and decorative serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for wordmarks and short editorial callouts that need a refined, vintage-leaning voice without becoming overly ornate.
The font projects a vintage, Art Deco–leaning sophistication with a dramatic, theatrical edge. Its elongated forms and sharpened terminals suggest classic signage and early 20th‑century editorial titling, balancing elegance with a slightly eccentric, stylized character.
The design appears intended to deliver an eye-catching, space-saving display serif that evokes period glamour while remaining crisp and legible in larger sizes. Its narrow proportions and flared serif behavior prioritize a strong vertical rhythm and a distinctive silhouette for titling.
Capitals are especially statuesque and attention-grabbing, while the lowercase maintains the same narrow, upright cadence with compact counters. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, making the set feel cohesive for headings and short runs of text where a distinctive vertical rhythm is desirable.
