A condensed serif with tall, narrow proportions and a lightly irregular, inked texture. Strokes are fairly even with subtle modulation, and terminals often finish in small bracketed or gently flared serifs rather than sharp slabs. Curves and joins feel slightly softened and imperfect in a controlled way, giving counters a human, cut-or-pressed look. Spacing is tight but readable, and the overall rhythm stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Works well where a compact serif is needed without losing a traditional reading texture—book covers, magazine/editorial layouts, blurbs, and pull quotes. The condensed build also suits packaging and posters that need to fit longer words into limited space while keeping a classic, slightly aged flavor.
The font conveys a vintage, bookish tone with a faintly eccentric, hand-rendered edge. It feels suited to literary or historical atmospheres—more intimate and tactile than clinical—while still reading like a conventional serif in text.
Likely designed to evoke traditional printed typography in a condensed footprint, adding a subtle hand-inked irregularity for warmth and period character. The goal seems to balance familiar text-serif construction with enough personality to stand out in titles and short passages.
Capitals appear tall and narrow, with a restrained presence rather than strong display contrast. The lowercase maintains a straightforward structure, but small inconsistencies in stroke edges and serif shaping add character. Numerals match the condensed stance and share the same softly tapered finishing details, helping mixed text and numbers feel cohesive.
