A compact, high-contrast serif with lively, slightly calligraphic construction and bracketed, flared terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered joins and occasional sharp beak-like serifs that give edges a crisp, inked feel. The uppercase is narrow and stately with relatively tall proportions, while the lowercase has a traditional rhythm, a two-storey “g,” and an overall slightly irregular, hand-cut texture that keeps counters open despite the narrow set. Numerals follow the same high-contrast pattern, with old-style-inspired curves and distinctive terminals.
It suits editorial headlines and book-cover titling where a classic serif voice is needed but a more distinctive texture is welcome. It can also work for posters and boutique branding that benefits from historical or literary cues, especially in short passages or larger sizes where the sharp terminals and contrast can be appreciated.
The tone is literary and period-evocative, suggesting classic book typography with a touch of eccentricity. Its sharp terminals and animated curves add a subtle theatrical, storybook quality without becoming overtly novelty.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a classic narrow serif model with heightened contrast and expressive terminals, aiming for a traditional voice that still feels individual and slightly decorative. Its construction balances readable, familiar letterforms with intentionally characterful details to stand out in titles and display settings.
The design mixes formal serif structure with small idiosyncrasies—curved spurs, tapered feet, and slightly uneven stress—that create character at display sizes. In running text it reads as traditional but with a noticeable, expressive bite at the ends of strokes.
