This typeface is a tall, tightly set serif with strongly condensed proportions and a high-waisted silhouette. Strokes are largely monolinear, with subtle tapering into sharp, flared serifs and pinched joins that create a crisp, chiseled feel. Curves are controlled and slightly angular, and many forms show vertical stress with narrow counters and long ascenders/descenders. The overall rhythm is vertical and stately, with consistent stroke behavior across caps, lowercase, and numerals, and distinctive, bracket-free serif construction that reads as decorative rather than purely text-oriented.
Best suited to display settings where height and compression are assets: posters, headlines, mastheads, and brand marks that need a sleek, period-tinged voice. It can also work for packaging and event materials where a refined yet attention-grabbing serif is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font conveys an Art Deco–leaning, vintage tone—formal, stylish, and a bit dramatic. Its narrow build and pointed serif cues evoke posters, marquees, and early 20th-century display typography, giving copy an authoritative, theatrical presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic condensed serif display lettering with an Art Deco sensibility, prioritizing vertical elegance, sharp terminal detail, and a distinctive silhouette for impactful titles and branding.
In running text the condensed width creates a dense color and a strong vertical cadence, while the sharp terminals and tight apertures emphasize crispness over softness. Numerals follow the same tall, compressed logic, helping the set feel cohesive for titling and set-piece typography.
