A narrow decorative serif with tall proportions, compact counters, and lively stroke modulation. Serifs are small and bracketed with occasional flared, spur-like terminals that create a slightly “cut” or notched look at ends and joins. Curves are taut and verticals feel dominant, while bowls and shoulders stay compact, producing a tight, rhythmic texture in text. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a narrow, arched n/m construction, and a j with a pronounced descender; figures are similarly slender with distinctive, slightly quirky shaping.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, book covers, and distinctive branding where its narrow silhouette helps fit long titles while staying expressive. It can also work for packaging or editorial pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size to preserve the crisp terminal details.
The overall tone is quirky and characterful, leaning toward storybook and vintage display sensibilities rather than neutral text refinement. Its narrow stance and animated terminals give it an expressive, slightly theatrical presence that can feel playful or mysterious depending on setting and copy.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif voice with a handcrafted, decorative edge—combining traditional serif structure with idiosyncratic terminals to stand apart in display settings.
Letterforms maintain a consistent narrow footprint, but widths vary enough to avoid a purely condensed monotone. The top and bottom terminals often sharpen or flare, adding sparkle in headlines but increasing visual noise at small sizes; generous tracking can help the texture breathe.
