A tall, highly condensed serif design with hairline strokes and crisp, square-ended slab serifs. The overall construction is upright and linear, with narrow counters and a strong vertical rhythm; horizontals and curves stay light and restrained, keeping contrast subtle. Caps are notably lofty, while lowercase forms sit small beneath long ascenders and occasional deep descenders, giving text a stretched, elegant silhouette. Terminals and joins are clean and minimally modeled, producing a precise, slightly brittle texture in lines of copy.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, delicate letterforms can be appreciated—headlines, titling, posters, packaging, and book covers. It can work for short paragraphs or pull quotes at comfortable sizes and with generous leading, especially when an elegant, slightly whimsical tone is desired.
The font conveys a quiet, airy elegance with a slightly eccentric, storybook flavor. Its thin strokes and elongated proportions feel refined and curated, while the narrow spacing and quirky tallness add a hint of whimsy and theatricality.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive condensed voice that blends classic slab-serif cues with an ultra-light, elongated build. Its focus is on creating an expressive vertical rhythm and a refined, decorative presence for titles and featured text rather than dense, small-size reading.
In sample text, the condensed fit creates prominent vertical striping and a light gray color, with punctuation and numerals matching the same slender, upright tone. The compact lowercase and long extenders can make word shapes feel narrow and tall, emphasizing rhythm over warmth.
