A slender serif with high verticality, tight set width, and crisp, slightly flared terminals. Serifs are fine and pointed with noticeable bracketing in places, giving the strokes a subtly sculpted, inked feel rather than rigid geometry. Curves are narrow and upright with a gentle diagonal stress, and the joins and terminals (notably on C, J, S, and the lowercase hooks) add a faintly idiosyncratic, decorative rhythm. Figures are similarly narrow and elegant, with open counters and delicate finishing details.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where its narrow proportions and spiky serifs can add personality—book covers, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and cultural posters. It can also work for refined stationery or invitations when a vintage, literary tone is desired, while very small sizes may require comfortable leading due to the tall extenders.
The overall tone feels literary and old-world, like a bookish display face with a touch of eccentricity. Its sharp serifs and tall proportions suggest sophistication and formality, while the quirky terminal treatments keep it from reading as strictly classical or reserved.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with decorative, slightly unconventional terminals to create a distinctive voice for editorial and titling contexts. It aims for elegance and economy of space while preserving expressive, recognizable letterforms.
The texture on a line of text is airy and vertical, with pronounced ascenders and descenders that create a lively skyline. Several forms lean into distinctive terminal shapes—especially the lowercase g, j, y, and the ampersand—so the font reads as intentionally characterful rather than purely utilitarian.
