A condensed serif with strong vertical emphasis and firm, sculpted outlines. Strokes stay relatively even through the curves, while terminals and joins subtly widen into flared, bracket-like endings that create a carved, poster-like solidity. Counters are compact and the rhythm is tight, with narrow bowls and crisp apexes in letters like A and V; lowercase forms appear tall and compact with short extenders and rounded, sturdy dots.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where verticality and impact are desired, such as posters, editorial display typography, branding marks, and packaging titles. It can also work for compact pull quotes or section headers where tight width helps fit longer phrases into limited horizontal space.
The overall tone feels vintage and declarative, with a showbill/wood-type flavor that reads as confident and slightly theatrical. Its condensed silhouette and assertive serifs give it an institutional, headline-forward presence without feeling delicate or ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, combining traditional serif cues with flared shaping to produce a bold, engraved display character. Its consistent vertical stress and tight internal spaces suggest a focus on punchy readability at larger sizes and strong typographic color in blocks of text.
The numerals and caps carry the same compressed, vertical stance, helping the set feel consistent in signage-style settings. Curved letters (C, G, O, S) maintain a firm, controlled curvature, reinforcing a disciplined, display-oriented texture across lines.
