This typeface is an extremely condensed serif with tall proportions and a tight horizontal footprint. Strokes are largely even with subtle modulation, while terminals and joins resolve into pointed, wedge-like serifs and tapered corners that create a crisp, carved look. Curves are narrow and controlled, with oval forms drawn as vertical capsules; counters stay compact and the overall rhythm is tightly packed. Numerals and capitals share the same vertical emphasis, producing a consistent, poster-like silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, titles, and other short-to-medium display settings where condensation helps fit copy into tight spaces. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a bold, vintage-leaning, high-impact serif texture.
The overall tone is dramatic and slightly theatrical, evoking vintage display typography and headline styling. Its sharp, tapered details add a sense of tension and flair, giving text a confident, declarative voice rather than a quiet reading texture.
The design appears intended to maximize vertical presence and economy of width while maintaining a classic serif identity. Its tapered serifs and tightly controlled curves suggest a decorative display purpose—prioritizing distinctive texture and punchy readability at large sizes over comfortable long-form text setting.
At larger sizes the pointed serifs and narrow apertures become defining features, creating strong vertical striping and a distinctive texture in blocks of text. The forms feel engineered for impact, with consistent spacing and a disciplined, columnar cadence.
