A condensed serif with tall proportions, narrow letterforms, and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast, with slim hairlines and firmer stems, and terminals that often flare into small spurs rather than ending bluntly. Serifs are compact and bracketed, giving many letters a slightly “ticked” or hook-like finish; curves are tight and counters tend to run narrow. The lowercase is prominent with tall ascenders and short, rounded shoulders, and the overall texture reads crisp and orderly despite the decorative terminal behavior.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, and titling where a tall, condensed serif can add personality while staying legible. It also fits editorial accents, book covers, and packaging that want a historical or literary flavor. For long-form reading, it works more comfortably for short passages, pull quotes, or subheads rather than continuous body text.
The tone feels vintage and slightly theatrical, like an old book jacket or a period advertisement with a hint of eccentricity. Its narrow stance and spurred endings add a quirky, characterful voice that can feel literary, curious, and a bit gothic without becoming heavy or ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a period-inflected, character serif that remains relatively clean and readable, combining condensed proportions with distinctive flared terminals. It prioritizes a memorable silhouette and vintage tone for attention-grabbing typography in display contexts.
In text settings the font maintains an even vertical cadence, but the condensed widths and narrow apertures can make dense paragraphs feel compact. It stands out most when given breathing room, where its distinctive serif ticks and tall silhouette become a defining feature.
