A condensed display serif with tall proportions, strong vertical stress, and sharp contrast between thick stems and hairline connections. Serifs are small and crisply bracketed, often reading as pointed terminals that reinforce a carved, ornamental feel. Curves are tightly controlled and often narrow, with several letters showing distinctive internal cut-ins and pinched joins that create a sculptural, poster-like rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, upright stance with a polished, high-drama silhouette.
Best used for headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its narrow, high-contrast forms can read as intentional ornament. It works well on posters, magazine mastheads, branding wordmarks, and packaging where a dramatic, vintage-leaning serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is glamorous and stage-ready, mixing vintage elegance with a slightly eerie, old-world sharpness. It feels suited to dramatic headlines—refined rather than friendly—evoking classic cinema titles, cabaret posters, and high-end editorial styling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum vertical elegance in limited horizontal space, using contrast and stylized serif/terminal shaping to create a distinctive, period-flavored display identity. Its letterforms prioritize character and silhouette for impactful titling over neutral, everyday text setting.
The condensed width and hairline details create a strong vertical cadence that looks striking in larger sizes. The stylization is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving text a unified, decorative texture rather than a purely utilitarian reading color.
