A tightly condensed serif design with pronounced vertical emphasis and flared stroke endings that broaden into sharp, wedge-like terminals. Stems are sturdy and dark, with comparatively finer joins and interior strokes that create a clear contrast without becoming delicate. Curves are controlled and slightly pinched in places, and the overall rhythm is compact, producing a tall, columnar texture. Lowercase forms follow the same narrow, high-waisted construction, and numerals match the condensed proportions for a consistent, display-oriented color.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where condensed width and strong vertical rhythm are an advantage. It works well in posters, editorial display, packaging, and branding marks that need a dramatic, classic presence. For extended reading, it’s likely most comfortable when used sparingly with generous size and spacing.
The tone reads assertive and theatrical, with a vintage showcard and headline sensibility. Its narrow, high-impact silhouette feels formal and attention-seeking, lending a slightly noir or cabaret flavor when set large. The consistent darkness and sharp terminals give it a confident, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while retaining a traditional serif voice. The flared terminals and controlled contrast suggest a deliberate nod to vintage display typography, built to feel strong and stylish in prominent, attention-focused settings.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the condensed skeleton creates strong vertical bands, which can intensify density in longer lines. The flared terminals and pinched joins add character that becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the distinctive stroke endings and narrow counters read as intentional styling rather than compression.
