A slender serif with pronounced flared terminals and tapered strokes that suggest a pen-drawn construction. Vertical stems stay narrow and straight while curves swell subtly before pinching into sharp, wedge-like endings, creating a lively, slightly elastic rhythm. Proportions are tall and condensed with generous counters where possible; rounds like O and Q are narrow and upright, and the lowercase shows compact bowls with long, fine ascenders. The overall texture is crisp and airy, with small, sharp serifs and distinctive stroke modulation that reads as crafted rather than geometric.
Best suited to headlines, poster titles, book covers, and editorial display where its condensed width and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a vintage-literary voice, while extended body text may benefit from larger sizes and generous leading due to its narrow rhythm and sharp terminals.
The font carries a refined, old-world charm with a slightly dramatic, storybook tone. Its narrow, flaring forms feel poised and expressive, lending a sense of theatricality and vintage sophistication without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to combine condensed proportions with a calligraphic, flared-serif finish to create a distinctive display face. It aims for elegance and personality through tapered joins, sharpened terminals, and a rhythmic, upright stance that keeps text structured while still feeling expressive.
In text, the narrow set and spiky terminals create a distinctive vertical cadence that stands out in headings and short passages. Some forms (notably the flared caps and the curling Q tail) add character that can become a strong stylistic signature at larger sizes.
