A tall, condensed display face with monoline strokes and crisp, square-ended slab-like serifs. The overall drawing is clean and lightly built, with generous vertical proportions, compact counters, and a rhythmic, slightly irregular width distribution across characters. Curves are smooth but restrained, while straight strokes dominate, giving the letters a tidy, architectural feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, elongated construction, and the lowercase shows a compact x-height with relatively prominent ascenders and descenders.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book covers, and branding where its tall, narrow silhouette can create strong vertical presence. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or packaging copy when set with ample size and breathing room.
The font reads as refined but playful, blending a vintage editorial sensibility with a quirky, hand-drawn hint in its proportions and spacing. Its light build and tall stance create an airy, sophisticated tone, while the narrow forms add a slightly eccentric, theatrical character.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive condensed display voice: light in color, crisp in terminals, and subtly idiosyncratic in rhythm. It aims to deliver a classic, slightly retro feel while remaining clean enough for contemporary titling.
In running text the condensed spacing and small interior counters can feel tight, especially in letters with rounded bowls, which pushes it toward larger sizes. The square terminals and slab cues remain consistent across the set, helping maintain a cohesive texture even with the variable character widths.
