This typeface is an extremely condensed, high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and flared, wedge-like serifs. Strokes transition quickly from thick stems to hairline joins, creating a carved, tapered look rather than smooth bracketed serifs. Many letters feature pointed internal joins and sharp, triangular terminals, with tight apertures and compact counters that reinforce a tall, elegant silhouette. The overall rhythm is vertical and punchy, with narrow widths across both uppercase and lowercase and a consistent, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, poster titles, magazine mastheads, and branding where a condensed, high-impact serif is desired. It can work well for short bursts of text—names, pull quotes, and packaging titling—where its sharp contrast and narrow set create a distinctive, upscale look.
The tone is dramatic and stylized, evoking vintage poster typography and fashion/editorial titling. Its sharp wedges and compressed proportions give it a formal, slightly theatrical presence that reads as assertive and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a display serif that maximizes drama and vertical elegance through extreme condensation, pronounced contrast, and wedge-shaped serif construction. It prioritizes visual character and striking word shapes for titling and identity work.
In text samples the dense vertical pattern produces a strong black-and-white stripe effect, and spacing feels intentionally tight for impact. The numerals and punctuation follow the same tapered, pointed logic, keeping the design cohesive in display settings.
