A tightly condensed display serif with tall proportions, compact counters, and crisp, vertical stress. Strokes are mostly straight and monoline-leaning with moderate thick–thin shifts, and terminals finish in small, flared, beak-like serifs that give the forms a carved, poster-ready sharpness. Curves are narrow and controlled, with a distinctly high-waisted feel in many letters; the overall rhythm is vertical and dense, producing strong word-shapes at headline sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, upright structure and read as sturdy and graphic.
Best suited for headlines, title treatments, posters, and packaging where a tall, condensed voice helps fit long phrases into tight spaces. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that benefit from a vintage, Art Deco-leaning character, especially at medium to large sizes where the terminal details stay clear.
The tone is distinctly vintage and dramatic, evoking Art Deco signage, classic film titles, and interwar-era editorial display. Its narrow, sculpted forms feel formal and slightly mysterious, with a theatrical edge that suits bold, attention-seeking typography rather than quiet body copy.
The design appears intended as a condensed decorative serif for display typography, combining sharp, flared terminals with a streamlined vertical structure to deliver a classic, cinematic look with strong impact in limited horizontal space.
The sample text shows consistent spacing and a strong vertical cadence, with punctuation and dots rendered cleanly and minimally. The design relies on silhouette and terminal detailing more than pronounced bracketed serifs, keeping the texture crisp and poster-like.
