A condensed, tall serif with lively, slightly irregular contours that suggest hand-inked drawing rather than rigid geometric construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with gently swelling stems and tapered, sometimes flared terminals; serifs are small and bracketed, often finishing in soft hooks or wedge-like points. Curves are narrow and upright, and many letters feature subtle asymmetries and eccentric details (notably in the lowercases and numerals) that create a textured, animated rhythm. Spacing is compact and the overall color is dark and continuous, with distinctive entry/exit strokes and occasional teardrop-like joins.
Best suited for headlines, titles, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where personality is desired. It works well on book covers, editorial design, posters, and packaging that benefit from a vintage or storybook mood; for extended body text, it will be most effective when set with generous size and comfortable leading.
The tone feels literary and characterful—part vintage book typography, part whimsical display. Its quirks read as intentional and expressive, lending a slightly theatrical, eccentric voice suited to playful or narrative-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a narrow, space-efficient serif with a distinctly human, illustrative touch. By combining traditional serif cues with idiosyncratic terminals and lively stroke modulation, it aims to stand out as a decorative text face that remains readable while projecting charm and individuality.
Capitals present a stately, elongated presence while the lowercase introduces more personality through curls, hooked terminals, and varied curve tension. Numerals maintain the same narrow, stylized logic, reinforcing a cohesive, decorative text-and-display look.
