This typeface uses tall, condensed proportions with pronounced thick–thin contrast and gently flared, serifed terminals. Strokes feel pen-influenced, with slight asymmetries and soft, tapered joins that keep the letterforms lively rather than rigid. Curves are narrow and vertical, counters are relatively tight, and several glyphs show distinctive, decorative constructions (notably in forms like the lowercase g, y, and the narrow, looping bowls). The overall texture is airy and vertical, with a rhythmic alternation of strong stems and fine hairlines.
Best suited to display settings where its narrow verticality and expressive serif details can be appreciated, such as book covers, editorial headlines, posters, and boutique branding. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when generous size and leading preserve the delicate hairlines and distinctive shapes.
The tone is playful and literary, evoking hand-set or hand-lettered printing with a lightly theatrical, vintage character. It reads as charming and a bit eccentric—more expressive than formal—making the text feel personable and crafted.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-contrast serif voice with hand-crafted nuances—prioritizing character, rhythm, and memorable silhouettes over anonymous neutrality.
Capitals maintain a consistent slender stance while allowing individualized details, which creates a curated, display-forward personality. Numerals and lowercase share the same narrow, high-contrast logic, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive while still retaining a decorative, idiosyncratic flavor.
