A tall, condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapering serifs that often end in slightly flared or pinched points. Strokes show a calligraphic, chiseled quality: straight stems stay crisp while curves narrow into tight joins, giving several letters a subtly notched, ink-trap-like transition. The overall rhythm is vertical and elegant, with compact counters and narrow apertures that emphasize height and drama. Numerals and capitals share the same narrow stance and high-contrast construction, keeping the texture consistent in display settings.
Works well for headlines, title treatments, and short bursts of text where its narrow, high-contrast texture can add impact without taking much horizontal space. Suitable for book covers, event posters, packaging labels, and editorial display typography where a vintage or theatrical atmosphere is desired. It is most effective at medium to large sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs remain clear.
The font reads as historical and theatrical, evoking Victorian playbills, penny-dreadful titles, and decorative editorial typography. Its sharp serifs and pinched curves add a slightly eccentric, storybook tone—formal at a glance, but with a distinctive quirkiness that keeps it from feeling purely classical.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with decorative, slightly eccentric detailing—using condensed proportions, dramatic contrast, and pointed serifs to create a memorable display voice. It prioritizes character and period flavor over neutrality, aiming for strong presence in titles and branding-style applications.
In the text sample, the condensed width produces a tight, column-like color, while the strong contrast and delicate hairlines make the face feel best suited to larger sizes. The italic is not present in the images; the shown style maintains an upright posture with decorative details carried consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
