A highly condensed serif with tall proportions, long ascenders/descenders, and a steady, low-contrast stroke. Serifs are small and bracketed, often reading as subtle flares at the ends of strokes rather than heavy slabs. Curves are narrow and controlled, counters are tight, and many joins feel slightly calligraphic, giving the letterforms a refined, ribbon-like vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same elongated, compressed construction for a consistent typographic color in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and title treatments where a condensed, decorative serif can deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space. It also fits branding and wordmarks seeking a vintage-elegant voice, and works well on book covers or editorial openers when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone is sleek and dramatic, with a distinctly vintage, stage-poster energy. Its narrow stance and sharp vertical emphasis suggest sophistication and a touch of mystery, pairing well with retro-luxe or noir-leaning aesthetics.
The font appears designed to evoke early-20th-century display typography through extreme vertical emphasis, restrained contrast, and refined bracketed serifs. Its construction prioritizes distinctive silhouette and atmospheric presence over extended-body readability.
The design relies on strong verticals and compact bowls, which creates a pronounced striped texture in text lines. The narrow apertures and tight spacing implied by the shapes favor larger sizes and shorter phrases where the distinctive silhouette can read clearly.
