A slender, right-leaning slab serif with unbracketed, square-ended serifs and a lightly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes stay relatively even with modest modulation, while terminals often sharpen into wedge-like points that give the outlines a slightly spiky, hand-drawn flavor. Proportions are condensed with tight letter bodies and compact counters; the lowercase shows a notably small x-height with tall ascenders and descenders that create a lanky vertical cadence. Curves (C, G, O, e) are narrow and taut, and joins remain crisp, supporting a clean, engraved-like silhouette at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed, distinctive rhythm can be appreciated—book covers, magazine headlines, posters, and branding marks that want a literary or vintage tone. It can work for short editorial bursts or pull quotes, but its narrow build and quirky terminals are most effective at larger sizes where details stay clear.
The overall tone feels bookish and old-world, with a gently eccentric, storybook character. Its narrow, slanted forms and sharp terminals add motion and a hint of theatricality, balancing refinement with a quirky, personable edge.
The design appears intended to merge a classic slab-serif structure with a lightly calligraphic, expressive edge. Its condensed proportions and animated terminals suggest a focus on characterful display typography that evokes traditional print while remaining individual and stylized.
The sample text shows a lively texture: uppercase forms read as formal and slightly classical, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in g, y, and w) that lean toward a handwritten sensibility. Numerals follow the same narrow, slanted construction and feel more decorative than strictly utilitarian.
