A condensed serif with tall proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Stems are heavy and slightly modulated, with bracketed, flared serifs that feel carved rather than geometric. Curves are narrow and upright, counters are tight, and terminals show subtle calligraphic shaping, creating a lively rhythm despite the strict width. Overall texture is dark and compact, with distinct top-and-bottom emphasis in many letters and figures.
Best suited for display sizes where its condensed, dark texture can create impactful headlines, subheads, and titling. It works well for vintage-inspired posters, book and album covers, editorial feature type, and logo-style wordmarks where a traditional serif voice is desired in a narrow footprint.
The font conveys a vintage, slightly theatrical tone—formal but not delicate. Its compressed, high-contrast-in-spirit silhouette reads as classic display typography associated with old posters, book titling, and traditional signage, giving text an assertive, period-leaning presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif for display typography, balancing traditional serif construction with a compressed, poster-ready silhouette. Its bracketed serifs and shaped terminals suggest an aim toward a historic, print-forward character while maintaining clear letterforms in tight widths.
The numerals and capitals share the same narrow, vertically stretched logic, reinforcing a consistent headline color. Spacing appears tight by design, and the strong vertical stress makes lines of text feel tall and columnar, especially in all-caps settings.
