A tall, condensed serif with a slightly irregular, hand-drawn flavor. Strokes stay fairly even with gentle swelling in places, and the serifs are small, bracketed, and often teardrop-like, giving the ends a soft, inked finish rather than a crisp cut. Curves are narrow and upright, counters are tight, and the overall texture reads light and vertical. The set mixes classic serif skeletons with quirky details—such as subtly uneven shoulders and varied terminal shapes—that add a decorative, old-print character without becoming overtly ornamental.
Well suited for display typography where a distinctive, literary voice is helpful—book covers, chapter openers, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or signage when set with generous tracking and line spacing to keep the tight counters from filling in.
The font conveys a playful, storybook tone with a hint of antique letterpress charm. Its narrow, upright stance feels formal at a glance, but the irregular terminals and slightly quirky proportions introduce warmth and personality. The overall impression is quirky and literary rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with handcrafted, slightly whimsical detailing. Its narrow proportions suggest an aim for compact, vertical emphasis in display settings while maintaining a recognizable, readable serif framework.
In the sample text, the condensed proportions create a strong vertical rhythm and efficient line fit, but the narrow apertures and decorative terminals make it better suited to larger sizes than dense body copy. Numerals match the tall, slender style, helping headings and short callouts keep a consistent texture across letters and figures.
