A condensed serif with subtly flared stems and chiseled, tapering stroke endings that read as sharp, wedge-like serifs. The stroke weight stays fairly even, with gentle swelling toward terminals rather than strong thick–thin modulation. Capitals are tall and narrow with a slightly classical, inscriptional feel; lowercase forms are compact with a modest x-height and crisp, sometimes angular joins. Numerals follow the same narrow, tapered logic, with clear, high-contrast silhouettes created more by pointed terminals than by dramatic stroke modulation.
Best suited to headlines, book-cover titling, posters, and editorial features where a condensed serif can add presence without taking much horizontal space. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous tracking and leading, but it visually performs strongest in display and emphasis roles.
The overall tone feels literary and old-world, balancing formality with a slightly quirky, hand-cut character. Its pointed terminals and condensed rhythm evoke antique printing and theatrical or storybook titling rather than neutral modern text.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, classical serif voice with flared, tapering terminals that add character and an engraved or hand-cut impression. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and vertical rhythm, aiming for elegant, atmospheric typography in titling and branding contexts.
The font maintains a consistent narrow cadence across lines, producing a tight, vertical texture in paragraphs. Several letters show distinctive terminal behavior (notably in curved forms), giving the typeface a recognizable voice at display sizes while remaining orderly and controlled.
