A condensed serif with pronounced, softly flared serifs and tapered stroke endings that create a slightly calligraphic, hand-cut feel. Strokes show moderate contrast, with rounded joins and occasional bulb-like terminals that add bounce to the rhythm. The proportions are narrow overall, but letterforms vary noticeably in width, giving lines of text a lively, uneven texture. Curves are generous and slightly irregular in spirit, while verticals remain firm, producing a decorative, display-oriented silhouette.
Best suited to display sizes for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where an idiosyncratic vintage voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial callouts or chapter titles, especially when you want compact width with decorative presence.
The overall tone feels vintage and storybook-like, with a playful eccentricity rather than strict formality. Its narrow, animated shapes suggest old posters, theatrical titling, or whimsical editorial moments where charm and personality matter as much as clarity.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with ornamental, hand-influenced details, creating a narrow display face that stands out through flared serifs, tapered strokes, and a lively rhythm.
Distinctive numerals and punctuation carry the same flared, tapered logic as the letters, helping the design stay cohesive in mixed settings. In longer lines, the condensed build packs words tightly, while the variable letter widths and expressive terminals keep the texture from feeling mechanical.
