A compact serif with tall, condensed proportions and pronounced wedge-like serifs that often fork or spur at terminals. Strokes feel firm and poster-ready, with modest contrast and tapered joins that create a subtly carved look. Curves are narrow and upright, counters are relatively tight, and many vertical stems carry small mid-height spurs that add texture and rhythm without becoming overly decorative. Overall spacing reads on the tight side, reinforcing a dense, vertical color on the line.
Best used at display sizes where the forked serifs and spurs can be clearly resolved—posters, headlines, title treatments, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or chapter openers when you want a period-tinged, attention-forward texture.
The font projects a vintage, theatrical tone—equal parts Victorian playbill and old-world editorial. Its spurred terminals and narrow build give it a slightly dramatic, authoritative voice, suited to settings that want historical flavor and presence rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke classic display typography with ornamental terminals while staying structured and legible. Its condensed proportions and consistent spurring suggest a focus on impactful, space-efficient headlines that carry a historical, print-era character.
The design’s personality comes from consistent terminal behavior—forked wedges, small notches, and occasional flared endings—applied across caps and lowercase, which helps it hold together in longer samples. The numerals share the same condensed stance and tapered details, keeping signage-style cohesion in mixed alphanumeric settings.
