A condensed display serif with tall proportions, narrow counters, and a strong vertical emphasis. Strokes are mostly straight and monolinear in feel with modest contrast, while terminals finish in sharp, flared, wedge-like serifs that create a chiseled silhouette. Curves are kept tight and upright, and many joins show small spurs that add crispness without becoming ornate. The overall rhythm is compact and even, producing a dense, poster-ready texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where a tall, condensed serif can create impact in limited horizontal space—posters, headlines, title treatments, and cover typography. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or section headers when a dramatic, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The font reads as vintage and stage-forward, evoking Art Deco and early 20th‑century signage through its tall, compressed stance and sharp flaring terminals. It feels dramatic and formal, with a slightly exotic, theatrical tone that suits attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif voice with a stylized, period-evocative flair. By combining a narrow build with sharp flared serifs and controlled contrast, it aims to stay legible at display sizes while projecting a distinctive, theatrical personality.
Uppercase forms are especially architectural and columnar, while the lowercase keeps the same narrow footprint and tall extenders for a consistent color. Numerals follow the same condensed, vertical logic, maintaining strong alignment and a tightly packed presence in sequences.
