A tall, tightly condensed serif with long vertical stems and compact counters. Strokes are largely uniform in weight, with small flared, forked, and spurred terminals that add ornament without becoming fully decorative swashes. Curves are narrow and controlled, producing oval bowls and a disciplined, columnar rhythm; joins and terminals stay crisp and squared-off in places, reinforcing a poster-like rigidity. Overall spacing feels display-oriented, with strong vertical emphasis and distinctive terminal shapes carrying much of the character.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short emphatic copy where its condensed width and ornate terminals can read clearly. It works well for posters, packaging, and branding that wants a vintage or Art Deco-leaning atmosphere, and can add character to signage or editorial display settings when used at larger sizes.
The tone is classic and theatrical, evoking marquee lettering and early–mid 20th century poster typography. Its condensed silhouette reads assertive and dramatic, while the spurred terminals add a touch of sophistication and showmanship. The overall impression is stylish and slightly formal, with a clear retro sensibility.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while retaining a traditional serif structure. The added spurs and forked terminals suggest an intention to inject period flavor and ornament into a practical condensed display face.
The design maintains consistent narrow proportions across both cases, and the numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic for a cohesive headline set. The distinctive terminals and mid-stem spur details are most noticeable in straight-sided letters, which gives text a lively, textured vertical cadence at display sizes.
