A condensed serif with tall proportions and crisp, knife-like serifs that often flare into pointed terminals. Strokes show modest contrast with a strong vertical emphasis, and curves are tightened into slightly angular bowls and shoulders. The design keeps counters relatively narrow, while extenders and capitals feel statuesque and columnar. Overall spacing reads compact and rhythmic, giving words a tightly packed, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display settings where its narrow footprint and pointed serifs can add character and presence. It works well for posters, book covers, editorial titles, and branding or packaging that aims for a vintage or theatrical mood. For longer reading, it will be most comfortable when set with generous tracking and line spacing.
The tone is dramatic and old-world, with a hint of gothic theatricality. Its sharp terminals and compressed stance suggest vintage headline typography and printed ephemera, lending text a ceremonious, storybook character rather than a neutral, contemporary voice.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, condensed serif voice that feels historical and expressive while remaining structurally consistent and readable at display sizes. The pointed serifs and tightened curves appear intended to add drama and personality to titles without relying on excessive ornament.
Several letters feature distinctive spear-like entry strokes and tapered joins that add a decorative edge without becoming fully ornamental. The numerals follow the same condensed, upright logic, matching the font’s tall silhouette and keeping a cohesive color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
