A compact serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a lively, inked silhouette. Stems are sturdy and relatively narrow, while terminals expand into small wedge-like serifs and flared ends that read as softly bracketed rather than slabby. Curves are slightly irregular and organic, with tight apertures and a gently compressed rhythm that keeps lines dense but still readable. The overall texture feels dark and punchy, with distinctive, calligraphic swelling at joins and terminals giving the outlines a hand-touched character.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and titling where its dark color and distinctive serif shaping can carry personality. It works well for editorial display, book covers, posters, and packaging that aims for a vintage or story-driven voice, and can handle brief text passages when set with comfortable spacing.
The face conveys a vintage, slightly theatrical tone—part old-style bookish, part display eccentric. Its energetic terminals and uneven “ink” rhythm add personality and a hint of whimsy, making text feel more narrative and characterful than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif with an old-world flavor, using flared terminals and ink-like modulation to create a distinctive, decorative texture without abandoning legibility.
Uppercase forms show strong vertical emphasis and assertive serifs, while lowercase introduces more bounce and idiosyncratic shapes, creating a lively mixed-case color. Numerals follow the same narrow, flared construction, with curvy figures that feel more traditional than geometric.
