A condensed serif with tall proportions and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes are largely even in weight, with subtle flare and beaked/pointed terminals that create a slightly cut-in, ink-trap-like feel at joins and corners. Serifs read as sharp, tapered wedges rather than slabs, and many letters show gently concave curves and narrowed apertures that reinforce the compressed, high-waisted silhouette. The overall texture is dark and steady, with compact sidebearings and a distinctly sculpted, decorative construction.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where a tall, compact word shape is desirable. It works well for posters, book covers, packaging, and brand marks that need a vintage, editorial display voice. In longer settings it will be most effective at larger sizes where the narrow apertures and tight spacing remain clear.
The tone is vintage and theatrical, evoking early 20th‑century display typography and old-style advertising. Its sharp serifs and compressed stance feel authoritative and slightly dramatic, giving text a formal, headline-forward presence. The style suggests classic editorial or poster lettering rather than neutral body typography.
The design appears intended as a characterful display serif that compresses text into a compact footprint while preserving a classic, formal tone. Its flared wedges and sculpted terminals add personality and period flavor, aiming for strong impact in titling and branding contexts.
Uppercase forms emphasize strong verticals and tight counters, while the lowercase maintains the same condensed discipline with compact bowls and brisk terminals. Numerals are similarly tall and assertive, matching the font’s poster-like color and reinforcing a consistent, attention-grabbing rhythm across mixed text.
