A condensed serif with lively, tapered strokes and subtly flared, wedge-like serifs that often finish in sharp points. The letterforms show a hand-cut, slightly calligraphic modulation: stems narrow into hairline-like joins, while curves and diagonals carry a crisp, angular tension rather than smooth textbook rounds. Capitals are tall and assertive with narrow bowls and compact counters; lowercase remains legible but keeps the same quirky geometry, with distinctive hooks and spurs on letters like g, j, y, and t. Numerals follow the same narrow, chiseled logic, with strong vertical emphasis and pointed terminals.
Best suited for headlines, titling, and short editorial passages where its narrow footprint and sharp detailing can add character without needing large tracking. It can work well on book covers, posters, packaging, and branding that wants a vintage or literary flavor, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels vintage and literary, with a lightly eccentric, storybook edge. Its sharp, flaring details suggest old-world print ephemera—part classic serif, part decorative display—creating a slightly theatrical, characterful voice rather than a purely neutral one.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive, condensed serif voice that feels historically flavored while remaining readable. Its tapered construction and pointed, flared serifs prioritize personality and vertical punch for display typography.
The rhythm is tight and vertical, and the pointed terminals create a sparkling texture at larger sizes. In longer passages the condensed proportions and energetic detailing are most noticeable in words with many diagonals and curved joins, where the angularity adds personality.
