A tall, tightly set serif with strongly condensed proportions and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast, with stems that subtly widen into flared terminals and wedge-like serifs rather than flat slabs. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are narrow, and joins taper cleanly into the main strokes, giving the letters a sculpted, columnar feel. The lowercase maintains a relatively even height and compact apertures, while numerals follow the same narrow, upright stance for consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks where its condensed footprint and flared details can be appreciated. It works well for posters, book and album covers, packaging, and branding that wants a refined, retro voice without the heaviness of a slab serif.
The overall tone feels distinctly vintage and display-driven, evoking Art Deco and early 20th-century poster lettering. Its narrow, vertical emphasis reads as elegant and slightly dramatic, projecting sophistication with a hint of theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to deliver an economical, space-saving display serif with period character, combining narrow proportions with flared terminals for a distinctive silhouette and strong vertical presence.
In text, the condensed width produces a dense, stripe-like color and strong alignment down the page. The flared stroke endings add personality at large sizes, while the tight counters and compact spacing suggest it will look most comfortable when given some breathing room in tracking and line spacing.
