A tightly condensed serif with tall proportions and a crisp, vertical stance. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation and taper into sharp, pointed terminals, while the serifs are small and bracketed, keeping the texture refined rather than heavy. Counters are narrow and upright, and the overall rhythm is compact, producing a dense, columnar color in words. Lowercase forms are streamlined with narrow bowls and short, precise arms, and the numerals match the same tall, compressed silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and titling where space is limited but a refined serif voice is desired. It works well for magazine and newspaper-style layouts, book cover typography, posters, and other editorial or cultural materials that benefit from a tall, condensed presence.
The font reads as poised and slightly theatrical, combining editorial polish with a vintage display sensibility. Its narrow build and sharp detailing give it a confident, dramatic tone that feels suited to classic, print-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver an economical, space-saving serif that remains elegant and distinctive in display typography. Its narrow proportions and sharp terminals suggest a focus on impactful titles and condensed editorial composition rather than relaxed, wide text setting.
In text settings the condensed width creates strong vertical emphasis and a dark, continuous typographic stripe, especially in all-caps. The pointed joins and tapered strokes add sparkle at larger sizes, while the compact counters can make long passages feel dense if set too tight.
