A condensed serif with high-waisted proportions and a lively, slightly idiosyncratic construction. Strokes are mostly vertical and even, with moderate contrast that shows most clearly in rounded forms and in the tapered joins. Serifs are small and sharp—often wedge-like and lightly bracketed—creating a crisp, spiky silhouette rather than a blunt slab feel. Curves are narrow and pulled in, counters stay tight, and several letters show subtle flare and pointed terminals that give the face a distinctive rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its condensed width and sharp serif detailing can carry the design. It works well for book covers, editorial titling, posters, and branding that wants a vintage or literary flavor without looking purely classical.
The tone feels editorial and old-style, but with a playful edge. Its sharp serifs and slightly eccentric shapes suggest a vintage, storybook sensibility—formal enough for display typography while still characterful and a bit mischievous.
The design appears intended to provide a condensed, attention-getting serif with classic roots and intentionally quirky detailing. Its narrow proportions and crisp wedge serifs prioritize distinctive word shapes and a memorable texture for display applications.
In the sample text, the condensed set width produces strong vertical texture and tight word shapes, while the pointed terminals add sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, slightly theatrical style, with open curves and distinct top/bottom treatments that read clearly in headings.
