A tall, tightly condensed display sans with strongly vertical construction and crisp, angular terminals. Strokes stay mostly monolinear with subtle contrast from tapered joins and pointed interior cuts, giving counters a narrow, slit-like feel. The overall geometry is rectilinear and columnar, with squared shoulders and occasional spurs that create a carved, chiseled rhythm. Spacing is compact and the letterforms read as deliberately stylized rather than purely utilitarian, especially in the distinctive numerals and the high, narrow capitals.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its condensed silhouette can create impact—posters, book or album covers, branding wordmarks, and vintage-themed packaging. It can also work for signage or pull quotes when set with generous size and tracking to preserve legibility.
The font projects an Art Deco and early-cinema poster sensibility—dramatic, sleek, and slightly ominous. Its tight vertical rhythm and sharp cuts evoke marquee lettering, pulp titles, and stage-play typography, balancing elegance with a hint of gothic theatricality.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, period-leaning display tone through extreme verticality, sharp terminal cuts, and a restrained, sans-like skeleton. Its construction emphasizes atmosphere and graphic presence over neutral readability, aiming for a memorable title-face texture.
The sample text shows strong vertical texture and a prominent headline presence, but the narrow apertures and stylized joins can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same tall, cut-in aesthetic, reinforcing a cohesive display voice.
