A compact serif with tall, slightly condensed proportions and modest stroke contrast. Serifs are bracketed and lightly flared, with occasional tapered or hooked terminals that give the outlines an inked, press-like character. Curves are smooth but not overly refined, and counters run on the narrow side, creating a tight rhythm in text. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with sturdy, vertical stems and gentle foot serifs, while numerals follow the same narrow, editorial stance and maintain consistent color across the set.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a narrow serif can save horizontal space while still reading traditionally—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers. It also works for book jackets, posters, and packaging that want a vintage serif voice with a lightly decorative finish.
The tone reads vintage and bookish, with a subtly eccentric, handmade edge. It suggests old print, small ads, and literary ephemera—classic in posture but with enough idiosyncrasy to feel characterful rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, condensed serif with a period-print flavor, balancing traditional construction with small, expressive terminal details for added charm in display settings.
Caps maintain a strong vertical emphasis, and the overall spacing appears economical, helping lines feel compact and column-friendly. A few letterforms show distinctive terminal shaping that adds personality at larger sizes without breaking text cohesion.
