A highly condensed display serif with tall proportions and a distinctly vertical, architectural build. Strokes are mostly straight and parallel with modest contrast, and terminals finish in small, sharp spurs that read like simplified wedge serifs. Counters are narrow and elongated, joins are crisp, and many forms use squared shoulders and pointed inner notches, creating a tight, rhythmic texture. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent narrow footprint, with compact apertures and a strong emphasis on stem-driven structure.
Best suited to display sizes where its narrow, towering forms and spurred terminals can read clearly—such as posters, headlines, titling, and brand marks. It can work well on packaging or labels that need a vintage or dramatic voice while conserving horizontal space.
The font projects a gothic-meets–early-modern poster sensibility: formal, dramatic, and slightly ominous. Its compressed verticality and sharp spurs evoke historical display lettering while the clean, repeating geometry adds a theatrical, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient, attention-grabbing display face that fuses condensed gothic cues with a cleaner, geometric discipline. Its consistent vertical stress and simplified serifs aim to deliver impact and period flavor without relying on ornate detailing.
The density created by the narrow counters and compressed spacing becomes prominent in longer lines, where the texture turns dark and uniform. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed construction, reinforcing the overall poster-like rhythm.
