A condensed serif with tall proportions, tight counters, and a distinctly vertical, disciplined rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even in weight, but terminals frequently flare into small wedge-like serifs and pointed beaks, giving many letters a slightly spiky silhouette. Curves are narrow and upright, with compact bowls and a pinched feel in glyphs like C, S, and the lowercase a/e. The uppercase shows restrained classic structure with stylized details (notably the Q tail and the narrow O), while the lowercase leans toward a bookish, slightly eccentric text face, with long ascenders/descenders and thin, tapered finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium text in editorial layouts where a narrow footprint is useful. It can work well for book covers, period-inspired posters, museum or theater materials, and packaging that wants a classic-but-quirky serif voice.
The overall tone feels vintage and editorial—evoking nineteenth- to early twentieth-century display typography and narrow newspaper or poster settings. Its sharp terminals add a touch of drama and whimsy, making the font feel more expressive than a conventional text serif while still maintaining a formal, literary character.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving serif with a historic, print-era flavor, combining traditional letter skeletons with sharper, more decorative terminals for added personality and presence in display settings.
Spacing appears compact, and the condensed geometry makes vertical stems and serifs visually prominent. Numerals follow the same narrow, tall model, reading well in columns and lists, with a lightly stylized, old-print feel rather than a purely utilitarian construction.
