A condensed serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and compact counters. Vertical stems are dominant and often swell slightly toward the ends, while joins and serifs feel softly bracketed rather than sharply cut. Curves are tightly drawn and somewhat pinched, giving letters like C, G, S, and O a taut, upright rhythm; diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y stay narrow and steep. The lowercase shows a sturdy, compact construction with short extenders and small apertures, and the numerals follow the same tall, compressed proportions with rounded bowls and firm vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines and short display lines where the condensed width helps fit more characters without losing impact. It works well for posters, mastheads, packaging, and book covers that want a retro or theatrical flavor, and it can handle brief pull quotes or subheads when set with generous leading.
The overall tone reads theatrical and nostalgic, with a hint of show-poster flamboyance. Its tight width and flared endings add a distinctive, slightly quirky presence that feels confident and attention-seeking rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended as a characterful condensed display serif that blends traditional serif structure with flared, tapering terminals to create a strong vertical rhythm and a vintage show-card feel.
Spacing in the samples looks relatively tight for the amount of black on the page, which heightens the dense, vertical texture. The rounded forms and softened transitions keep it from feeling severe, even as the condensed proportions push it toward display use.
