A tightly condensed serif with tall proportions and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Stems are straight and consistent in weight, while terminals finish in small wedge-like flares that read as sharp, sculpted serifs rather than broad slabs. Curves are compact and controlled (notably in C/O/Q and the bowls of b/d/p), giving the face a streamlined, architectural feel. The design leans on rectangular counters and narrow apertures, with crisp corners and minimal modulation that keeps the texture even in text.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short blocks where its condensed build and sharp serifs can create a strong graphic silhouette. It also works well for retro-styled posters, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from a narrow footprint and an architectural texture.
The overall tone feels Art Deco and metropolitan—sleek, poster-like, and slightly dramatic. Its narrow stance and sharp finishing details evoke vintage signage and early 20th‑century display typography, lending a confident, stylish presence without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif for display use, combining modernized, low-modulation strokes with stylized wedge terminals. Its proportions prioritize vertical emphasis and economy of space, aiming for a distinctive vintage-meets-urban voice in contemporary layouts.
Spacing appears tuned for compact setting, producing a dense, columnar color in lines of text. Several glyphs emphasize verticality (notably E/F/T and the lowercase ascenders), while the numerals match the same tall, streamlined construction for consistent titling and labeling.
