A condensed serif with tall proportions and gently flaring stroke endings that read like sharpened wedges rather than bracketed slabs. The rhythm is vertical and columnar, with narrow counters and a noticeable alternation of straight stems and small, curled terminals in places like C, G, S, and the lowercase f. Curves are taut and slightly pinched, while joins and terminals stay crisp, giving the face a sculpted, display-forward texture. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright stance, with some decorative curvature that keeps them lively in text.
Best suited for display contexts where its condensed stature and flared terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, and book or album covers. It can also work for short editorial decks or pull quotes where a vintage, stylized voice is desired, rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–adjacent and theatrical: refined but a bit mischievous. Its narrow, high-contrast-like sparkle and distinctive terminal curls suggest vintage signage, cabaret posters, and editorial titling with personality. It can read formal at a glance, yet the flared endings and quirky details keep it from feeling purely traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif for titling, blending classic letterform structure with decorative flaring and occasional curled terminals. Its narrow build prioritizes density and vertical emphasis, aiming for a distinctive, period-tinged presence in display typography.
The sample text shows strong word-shape emphasis from the condensed width and tall ascenders/descenders, producing a tight, energetic line. The design’s distinctive terminals and narrow spacing give it more presence than a neutral text serif, especially at larger sizes.
