A condensed italic serif with tall, high-waisted capitals and a compact lowercase. Strokes are clean and tapered with moderate contrast, using bracketed serifs and occasional flared terminals that give the shapes a slightly engraved, display-oriented feel. Counters are narrow and vertical, and the overall rhythm is tightly spaced and upright in structure despite the italic slant, producing a crisp, columnar texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where a tall, condensed italic can add flair while conserving horizontal space—posters, headlines, packaging, and venue-style signage. It can also work for short logotype wordmarks or subheads where a vintage editorial accent is desired.
The tone reads as vintage and theatrical—evoking classic posters, jazz-age signage, and stylish editorial titling. Its narrow, swashy silhouettes feel energetic and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental script.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, stylish italic voice with a classic serif foundation, optimized for attention-grabbing display typography. Its narrow proportions and tapered serif detailing suggest a focus on period-inspired elegance and impactful vertical rhythm.
Capitals dominate with elongated verticals and distinctive entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase keeps a restrained, simplified italic construction for continuity. Numerals follow the same condensed, slanted logic, maintaining a cohesive, poster-like economy of space.
