A tall, condensed slab-serif with hairline strokes and crisp, square-ended serifs that attach cleanly to stems. The forms are mostly monoline, with occasional pointed terminals and slight flare at joins that creates a subtle, calligraphic stiffness rather than smooth pen modulation. Curves are narrow and tight, counters are small, and many glyphs feel vertically pulled, producing an airy but tense rhythm. Numerals and lowercase show idiosyncratic details—such as narrow bowls and angular shoulders—that keep the texture lively and a bit irregular while remaining consistent.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, narrow profile and distinctive serif detailing can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book covers, pull quotes, and branding accents. It can work for short editorial text at comfortable sizes, but its condensed forms and fine strokes make it less ideal for small, extended body copy.
The tone reads as antique and literary, like a lightly distressed book jacket or an offbeat editorial headline. Its thin, elongated construction feels delicate and slightly dramatic, while the sharp slab serifs add a dry, old-world formality. Overall it comes across as quirky and expressive rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed slab-serif voice with a vintage, slightly eccentric personality—combining crisp, square serifs with narrow, high-waisted letterforms to create a distinctive vertical rhythm for display typography.
In text, the condensed proportions create strong vertical striping and a high-density line color despite the light weight. The slender joins and tight apertures may require generous size or leading to maintain clarity, especially in long passages.
