A high-contrast serif with narrow, vertically oriented proportions and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with finely tapered joins and pointed terminals, giving counters a tall, slightly compressed feel. Several letters feature idiosyncratic shaping—subtle flares, angled stress, and occasional spur-like details—creating a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric regularity. Numerals mix straight-backed forms with rounded bowls, maintaining the same sharp finishing and contrast.
Best suited for editorial headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and branding where a distinctive serif voice is desired. It can work for short to medium text settings when ample size and spacing are available, but its contrast and narrow build make it especially effective as a display face.
The overall tone feels vintage and literary, with a slightly eccentric, storybook character. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast add a sense of sophistication, while the quirky details keep it expressive and a bit playful rather than purely formal.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional high-contrast serif through a more characterful, slightly theatrical lens, pairing classic proportions with decorative quirks to stand out in contemporary layouts.
In text, the tight, upright build and strong contrast produce a distinctive texture with clear vertical emphasis. The design’s personality comes through in repeated small departures from uniformity—especially in curved letters and junctions—which reads as intentional and decorative while remaining broadly readable.
