A tall, compressed serif with lively, hand-drawn energy and pronounced vertical emphasis. Strokes show clear modulation, with slender hairlines and thicker stems, and terminals frequently end in small wedges, hooks, and slightly spurred serifs rather than flat brackets. Curves feel taut and narrow, with occasional asymmetries and playful inflections in joints and cross-strokes that give the rhythm a slightly irregular, organic cadence. The overall texture is crisp but characterful, producing a dense, vertical pattern while preserving readable counters in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display use where its distinctive serif details and compressed proportions can set a mood—headlines, posters, book or chapter titles, and packaging. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes, but the narrow set and animated detailing will read most clearly when given space and size.
The tone is quirky and old-timey, evoking antique book typography, apothecary labels, and vintage playbills. Its narrow, elegant silhouette reads as theatrical and a bit eccentric, with a subtle spooky or gothic whimsy that suits imaginative, narrative-driven settings.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif letterforms with a decorative, slightly hand-inked twist—combining an antique, editorial foundation with expressive terminals and a compressed stance for attention-grabbing typography.
Caps are especially condensed and tall, while lowercase retains a straightforward structure but picks up distinctive hooked terminals and flared finishing strokes. Numerals are similarly narrow and stylized, with curved forms that echo the font’s calligraphic stress and sharp finishing details.
