A condensed serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that swell from the stems rather than forming flat slabs. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with sturdy verticals, tapered joins, and tightly drawn counters that reinforce its narrow footprint. The forms are crisp and upright, with pointed terminals and occasional spur-like details that give several letters a carved, engraved character. Overall spacing and rhythm read compact and vertical, favoring strong columnar texture over airy openness.
Best suited to display typography where vertical punch and distinctive silhouettes matter: headlines, editorial openers, posters, and mastheads. It can also work for packaging or labels seeking a vintage or heritage feel, especially where narrow set widths help fit longer titles into constrained spaces.
The face projects a bold, old-world theatrical tone—part playbill, part engraved headline—balancing refinement with a slightly edgy sharpness. Its condensed proportions and emphatic terminals create a commanding presence that feels formal, dramatic, and a bit gothic-leaning without becoming fully blackletter.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, using flared serifs and sharpened terminals to create strong contrast and a memorable, engraved-like voice for display settings.
The sample text shows strong word-shape definition at display sizes, with distinctive silhouettes created by the flared terminals and tight internal spaces. Numerals appear robust and traditional in construction, matching the letterforms’ compact, vertical emphasis.
