A condensed serif with sharp, tapered terminals and pronounced stroke contrast. The letterforms are tall and narrow with a slightly irregular, calligraphic modulation that produces hairline joins and heavier verticals. Serifs are small and often wedge-like or flared, with occasional hooked or pinched endings that create a crisp, pointed silhouette. Curves are tight and vertical stress is evident, while some joins and counters feel intentionally quirky, giving the rhythm a lively, non-mechanical texture.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed proportions and high-contrast detailing can create impact—headlines, posters, book covers, and editorial pull quotes. It can also works well for branding and packaging that wants a vintage-literary or theatrical tone, especially when used with ample tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is refined yet mischievous—part classic bookish serif, part stage-poster eccentricity. Its narrow, high-contrast shapes read as formal at a distance, but the spiky terminals and idiosyncratic details add a slightly gothic, storybook character. The result feels dramatic and expressive without tipping into heavy ornament.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, condensed serif voice that feels classic but not conventional. The intent appears to blend traditional high-contrast construction with expressive, sharpened terminals to create a memorable display face with a slightly eccentric, narrative quality.
The font maintains consistent narrow proportions across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, but allows noticeable variation in glyph widths and interior spacing, which adds visual character. Numerals appear slender and stylized, matching the pointed terminal language seen throughout. In text, the vertical emphasis and crisp endings create a strong texture that benefits from generous spacing and moderate sizes.
