This typeface uses tall, condensed proportions with a strongly vertical rhythm and crisp, angular construction. Strokes show moderate contrast, with tapered terminals and small, pointed wedge-like serifs that read as carved rather than bracketed. Many forms are built from straight stems and tight curves, creating narrow apertures and a compact internal space, while subtle flaring at joins and ends adds a decorative edge. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistently narrow set width, and figures follow the same condensed, upright structure for a unified texture in text.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, poster typography, branding marks, packaging labels, and signage where its condensed stance and decorative serif treatment can carry mood. It can also work for short blocks of text (taglines, pull quotes) when set with generous spacing and sufficient size.
The overall tone is gothic and vintage, evoking signage, posters, and title cards with a slightly mysterious, theatrical presence. Its sharp terminals and narrow silhouettes give it a disciplined, formal voice, while the stylized details add drama and personality.
The letterforms appear intended to merge traditional serif structure with a stylized, narrow, poster-ready silhouette. Its consistent verticality and sharpened terminals suggest a focus on high-impact typography that feels historical and ornamental without becoming fully blackletter.
The design leans on straight-sided bowls and squared-off curves, producing a slightly mechanical, engraved feel. In the sample text, the tight letterspacing and vertical emphasis create a dense, patterned color that becomes more striking at display sizes than in long reading settings.
