A condensed serif with tall proportions, clean vertical stress, and sharply defined, wedge-like terminals. Stems are straight and even, with moderate stroke modulation and minimal bracketing, giving the letters a crisp, engineered feel. Curves are taut and geometric, counters are compact, and many joins resolve into pointed, triangular serifs that read more like engraved cuts than soft book serifs. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with a slightly decorative construction that remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed build and sharp terminals can read as intentional design—headlines, poster typography, mastheads, branding accents, and venue or product signage. It can work for short editorial titles or pull quotes, but the tight proportions and pointed details are most effective at larger sizes and with comfortable tracking.
The typeface projects a poised, period atmosphere—confident, slightly theatrical, and distinctly vintage. Its narrow, high-contrast-ish silhouette and chiseled serifs evoke early-20th-century display lettering and signage, balancing elegance with a subtle sense of stylization.
Designed to deliver an elegant, condensed serif voice with decorative, engraved-like terminals, optimized for vertical emphasis and strong silhouette. The consistent geometric construction suggests an aim toward period-flavored display typography that feels structured and architectural rather than calligraphic.
Capitals show strong vertical emphasis with flat horizontals and pronounced wedge terminals, while lowercase forms maintain a disciplined, upright structure. Numerals follow the same compact, upright logic, with squared-off turns and crisp finishing strokes that keep the set visually unified.
