A condensed display face with sturdy vertical strokes and subtly tapered, flared terminals that give stems a chiseled, wedge-cut look. Curves are tight and slightly pinched, while joins and corners often show small notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that add texture to the rhythm. The overall construction stays upright and compact, with a lively mix of narrow forms and occasional widened shapes in letters like M/W, creating a deliberate, uneven cadence. Numerals match the condensed stance and keep a bold, poster-friendly silhouette with crisp interior counters.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titles, and branding moments where a compact width and strong silhouette are useful. It can work well for signage and packaging that benefits from a vintage or theatrical flavor, especially at medium to large sizes where the notched details remain clear.
The font conveys a theatrical, old-poster energy—somewhere between early 20th‑century signage and showbill typography. Its narrow, high-impact shapes feel assertive and dramatic, while the small cut-ins and flares add a quirky, slightly mischievous tone.
The design appears intended as a characterful condensed display option that delivers high impact in limited horizontal space. Its wedge terminals and carved details suggest an aim to evoke classic signage and showbill aesthetics while maintaining a clean, mostly sans-driven construction.
In text settings the condensed proportions and tight apertures create strong vertical emphasis; spacing and letterfit appear tuned for display rather than long-form reading. The distinctive wedge terminals and occasional notched details are the primary identifying motifs across the alphabet and figures.
