A tall, condensed serif design with a strongly vertical rhythm and flat, square-ended serifs and terminals. Strokes read as largely monolinear, with crisp corners and minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a clean, graphic presence. Proportions are narrow with generous ascenders and descenders; counters are tight and vertical, and curves are drawn with an upright, controlled tension. Spacing feels measured and columnar, supporting a stacked, poster-like texture in both caps and lowercase, while numerals follow the same slim, upright construction.
Best suited to display settings where height and condensation help fit long words into tight widths, such as posters, magazine titles, and attention-grabbing headlines. It also works well for branding and packaging that want a refined vintage flavor with crisp, square detailing, especially when set with a bit of extra letterspacing.
The overall tone is vintage and theatrical, evoking early poster lettering and classic display typography. Its narrow, high-waisted silhouettes create a poised, slightly eccentric elegance that feels curated and editorial. The square finishing details add a firm, architectural accent that keeps the look crisp rather than soft or calligraphic.
The design appears intended as a condensed display serif that combines classic poster-like proportions with firm, square finishing details for a distinctive, high-impact voice. It aims to deliver an elegant vertical presence while maintaining a clean, graphic consistency across letters and numerals.
Capitals are especially statuesque and work well as a structured headline voice, while the lowercase keeps the same narrow, vertical color for consistent texture in short text lines. The forms prioritize a striking silhouette over generous internal space, so readability improves with larger sizes and comfortable tracking.
