A slender serif with compact proportions and a lively, slightly idiosyncratic rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation with tapered joins and sharp, sometimes wedge-like terminals, paired with small bracketed serifs that feel lightly flared rather than blocky. Curves are narrow and pulled upright, giving counters a tight, vertical emphasis; the uppercase has a high-waisted, classical stance while the lowercase mixes crisp stems with subtly calligraphic inflections. Overall spacing reads even but not mechanical, and the distinctive terminals and asymmetries add texture in running text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a classic serif is desired but a more characterful, decorative edge helps stand out. It performs particularly well in book covers, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and branding for cultural or artisanal contexts; it can also work for shorter text blocks where its sharp terminals and narrow counters remain comfortable at size.
The tone is literary and old-world, like a lightly eccentric book face with a hint of theater-poster charm. Its sharp terminals and narrow, poised forms feel refined and a touch mysterious, balancing seriousness with a gentle whimsy.
Likely designed to evoke a traditional serif foundation while introducing quirky, tapered terminals and narrow proportions for a more memorable, expressive texture. The intention appears to be a readable display-and-text hybrid that carries a vintage, literary flavor without becoming overly ornate.
Distinctive details—such as pointed ends on strokes, angular inner joins, and slightly varied serif treatments—create a recognizable voice, especially in capitals. Numerals and punctuation follow the same tapered, sharp-ended logic, helping headlines and short passages keep a consistent personality.
