A highly condensed serif with tall proportions and a tight, vertical rhythm. Strokes are mostly even with subtle modulation, and many terminals end in small flares, spurs, and tapered wedges that give the letters a sharpened, carved feel. Curves are narrow and controlled (notably in C/O and the bowls of b/d/p), while joins and feet often show pointed serif details rather than broad slabs. The lowercase is similarly slender, with long ascenders/descenders and compact counters; numerals follow the same compressed, slightly stylized construction.
Best suited to posters, headlines, title treatments, and short bursts of text where its condensed width helps fit more characters into a line. It can also add a vintage accent to packaging, labels, and book or album covers, especially when paired with simpler supporting type.
The overall tone feels old-world and theatrical, evoking antique printing, poster typography, and a faint gothic or circus flavor. Its narrow, spurred shapes read as dramatic and a bit mischievous rather than purely formal.
The design appears intended to provide a condensed, characterful serif for display typography, combining classic serif structure with distinctive flared and spurred terminals to produce a period-leaning, decorative voice.
The condensed build and distinctive terminal detailing create strong texture in headlines, but the tight counters and sharpened features suggest it will be more comfortable at display sizes than in long body text.
