A condensed slab serif with very slender, near-monoline strokes and crisp, unbracketed square serifs. Proportions are notably tall and narrow, with open counters and a clean, upright stance that keeps lines of text feeling orderly. Curves are drawn with a gentle, slightly calligraphic tension, while terminals and serifs stay sharp and rectilinear, creating a refined but distinctive rhythm. The lowercase shows a straightforward structure with a compact footprint, and figures follow the same lean, vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium editorial text where its tall, condensed color can add elegance without taking much horizontal space. It works well for magazine headings, book or chapter titles, packaging labels, and event materials where a refined slab-serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is light and sophisticated, with a subtle whimsical edge that comes from the elongated proportions and slightly idiosyncratic curves. It reads as vintage-inspired and literary rather than industrial, giving text a delicate, poised presence.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity and structure of a slab serif with an unusually light, condensed silhouette, producing an elegant display face that still feels typographic and disciplined. Its consistent stroke weight and crisp serifs suggest a focus on clean reproduction and a distinctive vertical rhythm.
The narrow set and thin strokes create a strong vertical cadence, making whitespace and letterspacing an important part of the texture. At larger sizes it feels graceful and distinctive; in dense settings the slender forms can appear fragile, so careful sizing and contrast management will help maintain clarity.
