A sharply condensed serif with tall proportions and a clean, steady stroke weight. Serifs are small and flared, with tapered terminals that give many strokes a chiseled, wedge-like finish. Curves are narrow and controlled, counters stay tight, and the overall rhythm is vertical and columnar. The lowercase follows the same compressed geometry, with a compact x-height and long ascenders/descenders that add a refined, poster-like silhouette. Numerals echo the same narrow stance and pointed finishing details.
Best suited for headlines, titling, and other short-to-medium display text where its condensed width and stylized serifs can be appreciated. It works well on posters, book covers, editorial openers, packaging, and branding marks that benefit from a vintage, decorative serif voice.
The tone feels vintage and stagey, combining elegance with a slightly eccentric, decorative edge. Its narrow, high-contrast-in-spirit silhouette (despite restrained stroke modulation) reads as classic display typography—suggesting old theater programs, book jackets, or period signage rather than everyday UI text.
The likely intent is a characterful condensed serif for display typography: economical in width, visually tall, and finished with flared serifs and tapered terminals to evoke a classic, slightly Art Deco–leaning mood. It prioritizes silhouette and rhythm for impactful titles over neutral, long-form text texture.
The design’s personality comes through in its consistent tapering and the way horizontals and joins end in subtle wedges, creating a crisp sparkle at larger sizes. Spacing appears tuned for display settings, with the condensed forms producing strong vertical texture and a distinctive, curated look.
