A tightly condensed serif with tall proportions, modest stroke modulation, and a distinctly sculpted, slightly calligraphic construction. Serifs are small and bracketed with occasional flared terminals, giving strokes a carved, ink-trap-like feeling at joins and ends without becoming heavy. Curves are narrow and upright, counters are compact, and spacing is relatively tight, producing a vertical, rhythmic texture in paragraphs. Several forms show idiosyncratic details (notably in the bowl and hook shapes and the angled joins), reinforcing a decorative, non-generic serif voice while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, book jackets, and poster typography where its condensed width and distinctive serif detailing can do expressive work. It can also support editorial accents such as pull quotes or section titles, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels old-style and editorial with a quirky, storybook edge. It suggests period printing and literary ephemera, mixing refinement with a slightly eccentric, theatrical character that reads as charming rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving serif with a recognizable, slightly ornamental signature. Its narrow stance and consistent vertical rhythm prioritize impact in tight columns and display settings while preserving a traditional serif foundation.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent condensed skeleton, with prominent vertical emphasis and compact round forms. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic and keep a tidy, text-friendly presence, while distinctive terminals add personality to short words and headlines.
