A highly condensed serif with tall proportions, tight apertures, and a strong vertical rhythm. Stems are weighty and largely monolinear in feel, with subtle contrast visible in curves and at joins. Terminals and serifs show distinctive forked/spurred shaping—especially on vertical strokes—creating sharp, ornamental moments without becoming overly intricate. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and numerals) stay taut and narrow, while many letters feature elongated verticals and compact bowls that reinforce the typeface’s compressed texture. The overall color is dense and even, with crisp edges and a slightly decorative finish at key stroke endings.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its condensed width and spurred details can be appreciated. It works well for posters, editorial display, brand wordmarks, and packaging that benefits from a tall, dramatic typographic voice. In longer text, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes where the tight counters and narrow forms have room to breathe.
The font projects a vintage, poster-like drama with a disciplined, columnar presence. Its spurred terminals add a hint of classic display flair—suggesting old editorial headlines, theater bills, or period signage—while maintaining a controlled, modern cleanliness. The tone feels assertive and formal, with an attention-grabbing narrow silhouette.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed silhouette with distinctive forked/spurred terminals for recognizable character. It aims for a classic display sensibility—evoking historic serif ornamentation—while keeping letterforms disciplined and consistent for practical headline setting.
Spacing appears tuned for a condensed setting, producing a continuous, upright cadence in text lines. The lowercase shows a straightforward construction with compact counters and minimal flourish, letting the distinctive terminal treatment carry the personality. Numerals follow the same tall, compressed logic, supporting consistent texture in headline figures.
