A condensed serif with flared, wedge-like serifs and softly rounded terminals that give the strokes a carved, slightly inked look. The letterforms are compact and tall, with modest stroke modulation and a gently uneven, hand-cut rhythm in curves and joins. Uppercase shapes stay relatively narrow and vertical, while lowercase shows more personality in the descenders and rounded bowls; the overall texture reads dark and crisp without feeling sharp-edged. Numerals follow the same narrow, old-style feel, with curved forms and small finishing flares.
Best suited to headlines, short editorial titles, book covers, and packaging where a vintage, characterful serif can carry the visual identity. It also works well for logotypes or brand marks needing a condensed footprint with a handcrafted feel, and for pull quotes or section openers in expressive layouts.
The font conveys a nostalgic, storybook tone—quirky and inviting rather than formal. Its slightly irregular detailing suggests handmade signage or letterpress charm, adding warmth and character to short phrases.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with playful, handmade detailing, providing a condensed display face that feels antique and personable. Its flared serifs and softened shapes prioritize character and atmosphere over strict, modern regularity.
Text samples show strong presence at display sizes, where the flared serifs and soft terminals are most legible and expressive. The narrow proportions create a tight vertical rhythm that can look elegant in headlines but may feel busy if set too small or too tightly tracked.
