A tightly condensed serif with tall proportions and a crisp, engraved-like construction. Strokes are mostly straight and vertical, with subtle modulation and sharp, angular transitions into small flared serifs. Curves are narrow and controlled, giving rounds (like O/C) a pinched, columnar feel, while joins and terminals tend to end in pointed wedges rather than soft brackets. The lowercase maintains a tall x-height relative to its narrow width, with compact apertures and a disciplined, vertical rhythm that reads like a display cut adapted to text-like forms.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where height and compression are useful—mastheads, posters, book covers, and packaging labels. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when a dense, vertical texture and period flavor are desired.
The overall tone is vintage and theatrical, with a formal, slightly gothic-inflected severity. Its narrow, upright stance and knife-edged details convey drama and authority, suggesting old posters, book titling, or period editorial settings rather than casual modern UI.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, condensed serif voice with an engraved, poster-era sharpness—maximizing impact and legibility in narrow widths while maintaining a consistent, authoritative texture.
Numerals and capitals carry the same vertical emphasis, with squared counters and sharp interior corners that keep the texture dark and even in continuous lines. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same angular, chiselled finish, reinforcing the font’s poster-like presence.
