A condensed serif with pronounced flared terminals that widen smoothly at stroke endings, giving vertical stems a carved, poster-like presence. The construction is low-contrast and largely monolinear, with tight internal spaces and a tall, compact rhythm across both cases. Uppercase forms are narrow and stately, while lowercase maintains a controlled, upright flow with compact bowls and short, efficient joins. Numerals follow the same condensed proportions, reading cleanly with consistent stem weight and tapered finishing.
Best suited to display roles where its condensed proportions and flared terminals can add character without relying on heavy contrast—headlines, film or theater posters, book covers, labels, and boutique packaging. It can also work for short editorial titling and pull quotes when a tall, vintage-leaning voice is desired, especially in tighter columns or space-constrained layouts.
The overall tone is dramatic and stylish, with a distinctly retro showcard feel. Its flared endings and tall proportions suggest sophistication and ceremony, leaning toward vintage luxury rather than casual friendliness. The texture feels disciplined and architectural, evoking classic signage and period display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, period-inspired display look through condensed proportions and sculpted, flaring stroke endings. It prioritizes vertical elegance and compact footprint while maintaining straightforward, readable letterforms for impactful titling.
The font’s narrow set and strong vertical emphasis create a dense, column-like texture in lines of text. Flared terminals substitute for sharper bracketed serifs, producing a softer, sculpted finish that stays crisp at display sizes. Spacing appears tuned for compact setting, reinforcing the typeface’s poster and headline character.
