A condensed, forward-leaning serif with strong vertical emphasis and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes show a calligraphic modulation: heavy stems and diagonals paired with tighter hairline-like joins, plus bracketed wedge serifs that flare subtly rather than sit as flat slabs. Counters are compact and tall, curves are drawn with a slightly pinched, sculpted feel, and the overall rhythm is tight and upright despite the italic slant. Numerals and capitals keep the same narrow, high-contrast silhouette, creating a consistent, poster-ready texture.
Well suited to posters, headlines, mastheads, and packaging where a compact width and high-impact presence are useful. It can also work for branding wordmarks that want a condensed, energetic serif voice, especially in short phrases and large sizes.
The tone is bold and theatrical, with a vintage editorial flavor reminiscent of show bills and headline typography. Its narrow, slanted forms feel energetic and slightly formal, projecting confidence and urgency more than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal horizontal space, combining a traditional serif foundation with a stylized, italicized display attitude. Its consistent narrow build and sharpened terminals suggest a focus on attention-grabbing titling rather than long-form text comfort.
The face reads best at display sizes where the sharp tapering, bracketed serifs, and compressed counters stay crisp. In dense settings the narrow proportions create a strong vertical pattern, and the italic angle adds motion and emphasis across words.
