A compact, condensed serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline in feel, with subtle contrast and brisk, squared-off joins that keep counters tight and vertical rhythm strong. The uppercase is tall and narrow with blunt, sculpted terminals; the lowercase stays sturdy and compact with a fairly even x-height and short ascenders/descenders. Round forms (C, O, Q, e, o) are slightly squarish and tightly enclosed, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharp and emphatic. Numerals are similarly condensed and weighty, built for display clarity.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where condensed width and strong presence help maximize impact in limited space. It can also work well for logos, labels, and packaging that want a vintage or showbill flavor, especially when set with generous tracking or used in short phrases.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, evoking vintage signage and show-poster typography. Its narrow, forceful silhouettes and flared endings add a handcrafted, old-time character that feels both assertive and decorative without becoming overly ornate.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice with a nostalgic, sign-painter sensibility. Flared terminals and wedge serifs provide a distinctive silhouette that reads quickly while adding period character for branding and titling applications.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, producing a dense, impactful line color in text. The design leans on consistent vertical stress and repeated wedge/flare motifs for cohesion, making it especially eye-catching at larger sizes and in short bursts of copy.
