A condensed serif display face with tall proportions and a high-waisted structure: many letters pinch at the midline and swell toward the terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast and a distinctly calligraphic stress, with wedge-like, flared serifs and sharp spur details rather than blunt slabs. Curves are narrow and vertically biased, counters are tight, and joins often form pointed apertures, giving the rhythm a crisp, carved feel. Capitals are especially vertical and monolinear in silhouette, while lowercase forms keep a firm, upright stance with slightly quirky construction (notably in curved letters and diagonals).
Well-suited to display applications where a dramatic, vintage-leaning voice is desired—posters, book jackets, editorial headlines, title cards, event branding, and product packaging. It can work for short text passages at larger sizes, particularly when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels gothic and theatrical—formal at first glance, but with an eccentric, storybook edge. It evokes vintage poster lettering and dark-romantic atmospheres, balancing elegance with a slightly uncanny, decorative sharpness.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, period-inflected display serif with strong verticality and ornamental flare. Its compressed proportions and stylized joins prioritize character and atmosphere over neutral readability, aiming for memorable titling and brand signatures.
The compressed width and tight internal space make the design read best when given room to breathe; small sizes or dense settings may clog counters and reduce clarity. Numerals and punctuation follow the same narrow, flared-terminal logic, supporting cohesive titling and headline use.
