A very narrow serif with tall proportions, compact letterspacing, and a gently calligraphic skeleton. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with tapered terminals and small, flared/bracketed serifs that feel more drawn than engineered. Curves are slightly pinched and lively, giving bowls and joins a hand-shaped character; the lowercase includes distinctive looped/tailed forms (notably on g, j, y) and a narrow, upright rhythm. Numerals follow the same condensed, slightly decorative construction with smooth curves and restrained stroke contrast.
Well suited to display typography where a condensed footprint is useful, such as headlines, titling, book and editorial covers, posters, and packaging. It can add character to short text settings (pull quotes, chapter openers, event materials), but its tight counters and decorative detailing suggest avoiding very small sizes or long-body reading.
The overall tone is literary and old-world, suggesting printed ephemera, classic titles, and a touch of eccentricity. Its narrow, animated forms feel theatrical and slightly whimsical rather than strictly formal, balancing elegance with a handcrafted charm.
The font appears designed to provide a distinctive condensed serif voice with a hand-drawn, calligraphic flavor—evoking vintage print while remaining clean and upright for modern titling needs.
The design reads best when its verticality is allowed to shine—tall ascenders/descenders and tight inner counters give it a crisp, column-like texture. The italic energy is implied through taper and curvature rather than slant, creating an upright face that still feels expressive.
