A stylized serif with tall, elongated proportions and a distinctly decorative construction. Strokes are generally thin with modest contrast, ending in sharp, flared wedge-like terminals rather than fully bracketed serifs. Curves are narrow and controlled, with oval counters and a vertical, poster-like rhythm; joins and shoulders feel deliberately drawn, giving many letters an arched, monoline-to-contrast hybrid look. Lowercase forms are compact with a straightforward, single-storey structure where applicable, while capitals feel especially architectural and narrow, emphasizing verticality and clean edges.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where its decorative detailing and tall proportions can be appreciated—such as posters, book covers, branding wordmarks, and premium packaging. It can work for display-sized editorial pull quotes or titles, but its narrow construction and stylization suggest using it sparingly for long-running body text.
The overall tone reads as vintage and sophisticated, with strong Art Deco cues and a slightly theatrical, display-forward elegance. Its tall stance and sharp terminals lend a poised, formal mood that can feel luxurious and period-conscious rather than neutral or purely text-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver a period-evocative, elegant display serif with a sculpted, architectural feel. Its consistent flared terminals and elongated forms prioritize atmosphere and silhouette over neutrality, aiming for distinctive titles and brand-facing typography.
Distinctive, characterful capitals and figures give the face a strong identity; the alphabet shows consistent flare and taper behavior across straights and curves. The numerals and round letters keep tight, vertical ovals, reinforcing a condensed, poster-like texture in lines of text.
