A condensed, vertically oriented display face with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes tend to stay straight and tall, with narrow counters and compact sidebearings that create a dense rhythm in words. Many forms show subtle flare and occasional bracket-like joins, while curves are tightly controlled rather than round and expansive. Uppercase letters read as stately and monolinear in silhouette despite the contrast, and the lowercase introduces more calligraphic motion with occasional looped or hooked descenders and distinctive, narrow bowls.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging titles, and short promotional copy where its tall, condensed rhythm can amplify impact. It works especially well when given generous tracking and line spacing, and when paired with a simpler companion for body text.
The overall tone feels vintage and stage-ready, combining formality with a slightly playful, show-card energy. Its tall proportions and dramatic contrast evoke classic signage and early 20th‑century stylization, giving headlines a confident, polished presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a stylized, period-leaning script-like voice with the efficiency of a condensed display face. It prioritizes striking verticality and contrast for attention and personality over neutral readability in extended text.
In running text the condensed width and tight apertures can make long passages feel busy, but the consistent vertical stress keeps the texture even. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly tall proportions and strong contrast, supporting cohesive headline setting alongside the alphabet.
