A tall, condensed serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Stems are straight and commanding, while terminals finish in sharp, flared wedge serifs that read like small spurs rather than long slabs. Curves are tightly controlled and somewhat angular in their joins, giving bowls and shoulders a carved, poster-like crispness. The lowercase keeps a relatively modest x-height beneath long ascenders/descenders, and numerals follow the same narrow, vertical rhythm with compact counters and pointed feet.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where its high-contrast strokes and tall proportions can read cleanly. It fits poster design, magazine mastheads, branding wordmarks, packaging, and period-inspired layouts where a condensed, ornamental serif can carry the visual hierarchy on its own.
The overall tone is dramatic and stylish, with a distinctly vintage display feel. Its sharp serifs and compressed proportions suggest classic marquee lettering and early 20th‑century advertising, projecting sophistication with a slightly ominous, theatrical edge.
The font appears designed to deliver a condensed, high-impact serif voice with a decorative edge, prioritizing silhouette and rhythm over neutral readability. Its wedge-like serifs and vertical emphasis aim to evoke a retro, display-forward personality for attention-grabbing typography.
The design favors a strong vertical rhythm and tight interior spaces, which heightens impact at larger sizes but can make dense text feel busy when set small. Distinctive shapes in letters like J, Q, and the lowercase g/j add character and reinforce its decorative intent.
