A highly condensed serif design with tall proportions, long ascenders and descenders, and a taut vertical rhythm. Strokes stay mostly even in weight, but regularly broaden into subtle flared terminals that read as soft, wedge-like endings rather than hard slabs. Curves are narrow and elongated, with small, crisp joins and compact counters that emphasize height over width. Overall spacing feels airy and columnar, with punctuation and figures following the same slim, upright construction.
This font is best suited to display sizes where its condensed proportions and flared terminals can carry personality—headlines, posters, magazine titling, and book covers. It can also work for premium packaging and branding that needs a tall, elegant wordmark, especially when horizontal space is limited.
The tone is elegant and slightly dramatic, evoking vintage display typography with a poised, fashion-forward attitude. Its narrow silhouettes and flared endings create a refined, theatrical presence that feels at home in classic or Art Deco–adjacent settings without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver an unmistakably tall, stylish silhouette with classic serif cues and distinctive flared stroke endings, balancing refinement with a slightly theatrical display character. Its consistent narrow rhythm suggests a focus on impactful titling and space-efficient setting rather than extended, small-size text.
Uppercase forms appear particularly statuesque, while lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture thanks to consistent stroke endings and restrained detailing. Numerals are similarly narrow and vertical, aligning well with the typeface’s tall, streamlined voice.
