This typeface is a tall, condensed sans with pronounced stroke modulation and a strong vertical rhythm. Letters are built from narrow oval bowls and straight stems, with sharp, tapered terminals that often finish in wedge-like points rather than soft rounding. Curves (C, O, S, a, e) feel compressed and elongated, while verticals (H, I, N, l) dominate, giving the face a slightly poster-like, columnar stance. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast construction, with distinctive, stylized curves in figures like 2, 3, 5, and 9.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of text where its condensed width and strong contrast can add character without sacrificing clarity. It works especially well for posters, editorial display settings, brand marks, and packaging that benefit from a vintage-leaning, high-impact voice.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial—confident, slightly vintage, and designed to catch the eye. Its condensed proportions and crisp finishes evoke classic display typography used for headlines, playbills, and signage, where personality and presence matter as much as legibility.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that combines condensed proportions with calligraphic-like contrast to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing texture. It prioritizes vertical presence and stylized terminals to deliver an assertive, classic-forward look.
Stroke modulation is consistent across the set, creating a lively texture in text while maintaining a disciplined, upright structure. The tight sidebearings and narrow counters increase density, making the face feel impactful in larger sizes and more intense in long passages.
