A highly condensed serif with tall proportions and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes feel mostly even at a glance but reveal subtle contrast and sharpened joins, with flared, wedge-like terminals that read as decorative serifs rather than slabs. Counters are narrow and often vertically oriented, and curves are tightened into oval and teardrop forms, giving letters a compact, engineered look. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, upright construction with compact bowls and a tidy x-height, while numerals and capitals keep the same narrow stance and crisp terminal treatment.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of copy where a tall, narrow footprint is useful and the decorative serif detailing can be appreciated. It works well for posters, packaging, branding marks, and event or venue-style typography that benefits from a vintage, sign-painterly presence.
The overall tone is vintage and theatrical, evoking early 20th‑century display lettering and Art Deco-inspired signage. Its tight width and sharp terminals create a confident, slightly dramatic voice that feels more like a headline instrument than a neutral text face.
The design intent appears to be a space-saving, high-impact display serif that channels classic condensed lettering while adding distinctive flared terminals and tightened curves for personality. Its consistent narrowness and emphatic vertical stress suggest it was drawn to create strong, elegant texture in large sizes and attention-grabbing settings.
Spacing appears deliberately tight to reinforce the condensed feel, producing strong vertical texture in paragraphs. Several forms lean into stylization—especially in the curves and terminal shapes—so the design reads as intentionally decorative even at moderate sizes.
