A tightly condensed serif with extreme vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are heavy and straight, while hairlines are very fine, with crisp, bracketless-looking serifs that read as small wedges or flares at terminals. Curves are narrow and controlled, counters are compact, and joins stay clean and upright, creating a rigid rhythm across words. Lowercase forms keep a conventional structure but inherit the same compressed proportions and sharp terminal behavior; numerals follow the same tall, narrow construction for consistent texture.
Best suited for short display settings such as headlines, mastheads, posters, and cover typography where its compressed width and high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for branding wordmarks and labels that benefit from a tall, authoritative silhouette, but is less comfortable for long body copy due to the dense vertical texture.
The overall tone is dramatic and commanding, with a vintage, poster-like intensity. Its stark contrast and compressed silhouette evoke classic newspaper headlines, playbills, and old-style display typography, giving text a serious, slightly theatrical presence.
This font appears designed as a condensed display serif that maximizes impact and economy of space while retaining an elegant, high-contrast serif character. The sharp terminals and strict verticality suggest an intention to reference historic editorial or show-poster typography in a contemporary, punchy form.
The design creates strong vertical striping in paragraphs, so spacing and line length will noticeably affect readability. The very fine hairlines and small serifs add elegance but can visually thin out at small sizes or in low-resolution settings, while large sizes emphasize its striking contrast and narrow rhythm.
