A compact serif with tall lowercase proportions and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even, with subtle modulation and softened joins, while bracketed serifs and gently flared terminals keep the texture lively rather than mechanical. Curves are slightly squarish in places and counters feel tight, producing a dense, column-like color in text. Capitals are relatively narrow and upright, and several glyphs lean into quirky constructions that give the alphabet a bespoke, display-leaning character without losing overall coherence.
Works well for headlines and subheads where compact width and strong vertical rhythm help pack information into limited space. The distinctive serif detailing makes it a good choice for editorial design, book and magazine covers, posters, and packaging that benefits from a slightly unconventional classic voice.
The tone reads vintage and editorial, with a faintly theatrical, bookish personality. Its slightly eccentric details add charm and individuality, suggesting classic print matter with a modern, curated edge rather than strict historical revival.
Likely designed to provide a space-saving serif with strong text color and a memorable, slightly idiosyncratic silhouette. The intent seems to balance readability at moderate sizes with decorative character suitable for branded editorial and display applications.
In running text the face builds a strong, continuous vertical cadence, helped by short extenders and a high x-height. The figures appear simple and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ even stroke behavior, while the overall spacing supports a tight, economical setting.
