A highly condensed serif display face with tall proportions, compact sidebearings, and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp transitions, and terminals often finish in small spurs or flared, wedge-like serifs that give the forms a carved, poster-like sharpness. Curves are tight and controlled (notably in C/S and the bowls of B/P), while many letters feature narrowed apertures and high-waisted counters that emphasize height over width. Numerals follow the same condensed, decorative construction, maintaining an even, columnar texture in text settings.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and branding where a narrow footprint and strong vertical emphasis are desirable. It can work for short editorial display lines, event materials, and packaging accents, especially when space is limited and a vintage-leaning, stylized serif voice is needed.
The overall tone reads distinctly Art Deco and vintage—sleek, dramatic, and a bit theatrical. Its narrow, towering forms and sharp serif treatment suggest classic marquee typography, fashion-era headlines, and stylized editorial titling rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended as a decorative display serif that channels early 20th-century showcard and Art Deco influences. Its condensed proportions and sharp, spurred serif treatment prioritize distinctive silhouette and dramatic rhythm for impactful typography at larger sizes.
In sample text, the condensed width and pronounced verticality create a dense, high-impact line that benefits from generous tracking and ample leading. The design’s distinctive inner shaping and spur details become a key part of its personality, especially at larger sizes where the crisp joints and terminals are most apparent.
