A wiry, upright text face with a narrow overall footprint and an intentionally uneven rhythm. Strokes show noticeable pen-like modulation, with tapered terminals and small, sharp wedge serifs that give many letters a slightly spiky silhouette. Curves are tightened and occasionally kinked, while verticals remain dominant, producing a tall, compressed texture in lines of text. The drawing keeps consistent construction but allows subtle wobble and asymmetry, reinforcing a hand-rendered feel without connecting strokes.
Best suited to display sizes where its narrow proportions and pointed terminals can read cleanly—book covers, editorial headlines, posters, packaging, and distinctive brand wordmarks. It can also work for short text passages or pull quotes when a crafted, vintage-leaning voice is desired and generous spacing is available.
The tone is theatrical and storybook-like, mixing formality with a playful, slightly eerie edge. Its sharp terminals and lively irregularities evoke old-world printed ephemera, folk illustrations, or hand-lettered titles where character matters more than neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a hand-drawn, calligraphic presence that feels traditional yet animated, combining a condensed text color with expressive terminals. The goal appears to be a legible display face that adds narrative character and a lightly gothic, folk-printed flavor to titles and branding.
Capitals are especially tall and slender, with narrow bowls and pronounced tapered ends. Lowercase forms keep readable proportions, with simple, open counters and occasional flourished terminals; numerals follow the same condensed, pen-cut logic, staying clear and linear rather than geometric.
