A condensed serif with flared, bracketed stroke endings and a distinctly decorative finish. Vertical stems are strong and straight, while joins and terminals expand into soft wedges and small spurs that give the outlines a carved, display-like rhythm. Several letters show curled or beaked terminals (notably in S, J, and some lowercase forms), and the ‘O/0’ forms feature a distinctive inner detail that reads like a vertical inset. The overall construction is clean and consistent, with a tight footprint, compact counters, and a slightly calligraphic sense of modulation despite the upright stance.
Best suited to display typography where its flared serifs and ornamental terminals can be appreciated—posters, headlines, book covers, packaging, and logo or wordmark work with a vintage or boutique tone. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the compact spacing and lively detailing suggest avoiding long, small-size text blocks.
The tone is vintage and theatrical, evoking nineteenth-century posters, apothecary labels, and storybook titling. Its narrow proportions and ornamental terminals add a playful, slightly eccentric character that feels curated rather than neutral, lending an air of old-world charm and crafted personality.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with decorative, flared finishing to create a condensed display face with period flavor. The consistent narrow rhythm and distinctive terminal treatments suggest a focus on memorable titling and branding rather than purely utilitarian reading text.
The figure set continues the display sensibility, with noticeable styling in curved numerals and a distinctive ‘4’. The narrow set width and decorative terminals create a strong vertical cadence, which can become busy in dense settings but reads confidently at headline sizes.
