A condensed display face with tall proportions, smooth curves, and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are largely monolinear, but many letters show subtle spurs and small triangular notches that give the forms a chiseled, cut-paper feel. The design introduces an offset, shadow-like duplication/cutout impression along parts of the strokes, creating a lightly dimensional silhouette without heavy shading. Uppercase forms are narrow and vertical, while lowercase stays compact with a single-storey “a” and simple, open counters; numerals follow the same slim, stylized rhythm.
Works best in short to medium display lines where the narrow width helps fit long words into limited space. The stylized terminals and shadow/cutout detailing make it effective for posters, brand marks, packaging labels, and editorial headlines where a vintage, decorative voice is desired.
The overall tone reads as vintage and theatrical, with an Art Deco–leaning elegance and a hint of novelty. The shadowed/cutout effect adds a poster-like drama that feels suited to titles and display settings rather than quiet body copy.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, period-flavored display look with added dimensionality through an offset shadow/cutout treatment. Its narrow proportions and crisp detailing prioritize visual personality and title impact over neutral text performance.
Spacing appears on the tight side in the sample text, reinforcing the compact, columnar color typical of condensed display faces. Several capitals (notably diagonals and wide letters) compress into distinctive, angular silhouettes, helping the type stand out at larger sizes.
