A highly condensed serif with tall proportions and a strong vertical emphasis. Strokes are relatively even with moderate thick–thin modulation, and many stems finish in sharp, flared, bracketed serifs that feel more carved than calligraphic. Curves are narrow and taut, counters are pinched, and several letters show distinctive spur-like terminals and small notches that create a slightly ornamental, poster-cut rhythm. The lowercase is compact with a tall x-height, narrow apertures, and ascenders/descenders that read cleanly despite the tight width.
Best suited for display typography where verticality and personality are assets—posters, headlines, packaging, book covers, and event or nightlife promotions. It can also work for short editorial callouts or mastheads when a condensed serif with a historic, theatrical flavor is desired.
The overall tone is theatrical and vintage, evoking late-19th/early-20th poster lettering and playbill typography. Its condensed, spiky detailing adds drama and a faintly gothic/cabaret edge without becoming fully blackletter.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while adding decorative serif character. Its narrow, high-contrast-in-moderation structure and sharpened terminals suggest a purpose-built display face for poster-style settings and branded titling.
In text settings the tight width and distinctive terminals create a strong texture that favors display use; at smaller sizes the pinched counters and sharp serif details may merge visually. Numerals and capitals match the same tall, compressed stance, keeping headlines consistent and attention-grabbing.
