A condensed serif with tall proportions and a distinctly carved, slightly calligraphic construction. Strokes stay relatively even, while terminals flare into sharp, wedge-like serifs and pointed hooks that create a crisp, chiseled rhythm. Capitals are narrow and vertical with prominent top serifs and tapered joins; curves are tight and upright, giving counters a compact, oval feel. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a,” compact bowls, and a narrow, vertical emphasis throughout, with punctuation and numerals matching the same taut, tapered finish.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed width and sharpened serif details can define a strong typographic voice—headlines, poster titles, book and magazine covers, and brand or package lettering. It can work for short editorial passages when a distinctive, period-leaning texture is desired, but its tight counters and expressive terminals are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels vintage and theatrical, with an old-style poster energy that reads as both literary and slightly eccentric. Its narrow stance and sharp, stylized serifs add a touch of drama and wit, making text feel curated rather than purely utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing serif voice that echoes vintage print and display typography while keeping a disciplined, upright structure. Its consistent tapering and wedge serifs suggest an intention to balance readability with a decorative, characterful finish.
In continuous text the dense vertical rhythm and distinctive terminal shapes create strong texture, especially where repeated stems and narrow counters stack closely. The design’s personality is carried by its pointed serifs and hooked curves, which remain consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
