A tall, condensed display face with pronounced stroke modulation and sharp, tapered joins. Stems are generally straight and upright, while curves are narrow and tightly drawn, giving counters a vertical, compressed feel. Terminals often flare or taper to fine points, creating a slightly cut or inked texture at the ends, and the rhythm alternates between dense black strokes and thin hairline connections. Forms show irregular, hand-inked edges in places, contributing to a lively, slightly distressed finish rather than a perfectly even mechanical outline.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed proportions and strong contrast can create impact—posters, headlines, book and album covers, and bold brand statements. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where a distinctive, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone is dramatic and a bit eccentric, blending a vintage poster sensibility with a sharp editorial bite. Its narrow, high-contrast silhouette reads as assertive and theatrical, with a crafted, imperfect edge that adds personality and tension.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in a narrow width while adding character through tapered terminals and stark contrast. It aims for a striking, attention-grabbing texture that evokes printed ephemera and expressive lettering rather than neutral text typography.
Uppercase letters feel especially vertical and monumental, while lowercase introduces more quirky movement through asymmetric terminals and tight bowls. Numerals and punctuation match the same condensed, high-contrast construction, keeping the set visually cohesive in text samples.
