A tall, tightly condensed display face with an upright stance and consistently slender strokes. Forms are built from elongated verticals with subtly tapered terminals and occasional sharp, spur-like notches that evoke pen-cut or engraved detailing. Curves are narrow and controlled, with compact bowls and a rhythmic repetition of thin uprights; diagonals and joins remain crisp rather than flowing. The overall texture is airy but insistent, producing a striking, high-vertical silhouette in both capitals and lowercase, with numerals matching the same narrow, elongated proportions.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, book or album covers, mastheads, and logo wordmarks where its condensed height and decorative terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for boutique packaging or labels when used at moderate-to-large sizes and with comfortable tracking.
The font conveys a theatrical, old-world elegance with a slightly ominous edge. Its narrow, towering letterforms and pointed details suggest vintage posters, occult or fantasy titling, and dramatic editorial headings rather than casual handwriting.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, period-tinged calligraphic display voice by combining compressed proportions with refined, pen-like terminal cuts. It prioritizes silhouette, vertical rhythm, and decorative sharpness to create instant mood in titles and short phrases.
The design relies on vertical emphasis and distinctive terminal shaping for personality, so spacing and line length strongly affect its presence—short words and headlines feel especially punchy. In longer passages the repeated thin uprights create a patterned, column-like rhythm that reads as stylized and decorative.
