A condensed display serif with tall, columnar proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Stems are heavy and fairly even, with modest modulation and tightened inner counters. Serifs are compact and bracketed, often forming beak-like hooks and small spurs; several joins show subtle notch/ink-trap shaping that sharpens the silhouette. Uppercase forms feel engineered and narrow, while lowercase keeps similarly upright, compressed shapes with sturdy ascenders and descenders, producing an overall dark, emphatic texture in text settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a condensed, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for logo marks or wordmarks that want a vintage showbill flavor; for longer passages it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The tone reads unmistakably vintage and show-oriented, evoking frontier posters, circus bills, and turn-of-the-century advertising. Its sharp hooks and narrow stance add a slightly dramatic, theatrical edge while staying legible enough for short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing serif with period character—pairing tight proportions with decorative terminals and bracketed serifs to create a classic poster aesthetic that stands out in display typography.
Numerals follow the same tall, compressed model, with squared-off curves and firm terminals that match the uppercase weight. The font’s tight spacing and dense color can create a strong “printed poster” block effect, especially at larger sizes where the small notches and brackets become part of the character.
