A condensed, high-contrast serif with tall proportions and a wiry vertical emphasis. Strokes taper sharply from thick stems into hairline joins, and the terminals often end in pointed, slightly ragged serifs that feel hand-inked rather than mechanically clean. Curves are narrow and tense, counters are small, and several glyphs show subtle irregularities and hooked endings that create a lively, animated rhythm. The overall color on the page is dark and crisp, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and a slightly distressed, inked edge in the details.
Best suited to display use where its dramatic contrast and condensed stance can work at larger sizes: posters, book and film titles, event branding, and thematic packaging. It can also serve in short logotypes or wordmarks that benefit from a distinctive, vintage-leaning personality. For extended small-size reading, the tight counters and sharp detailing may become visually busy.
The font conveys a vintage, slightly eerie whimsy—like a theatrical poster or a gothic storybook title. Its spiky finishing and nervous contrasts add drama and personality, reading as playful-ominous rather than formal or quiet. The tone feels historical and expressive, with a hint of macabre charm.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif structure through an expressive, hand-inked lens—prioritizing character and atmosphere over neutrality. Its narrow proportions and spiky terminals suggest a goal of creating high-impact display typography with a vintage, theatrical flavor.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and narrow, giving headings a vertical, banner-like presence. Lowercase shapes keep the same narrow tension, with distinctive hooked descenders (notably in letters like g, j, and y) that add movement. Numerals follow the same stylized logic, with tapered strokes and pointed terminals, and punctuation appears sharp and assertive in text.
