A tall, condensed serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals and softly tapered strokes that give many stems a subtly pinched, columnar feel. The letterforms are upright with a lively, slightly uneven rhythm: bowls and joints feel gently organic rather than rigidly geometric, and curves transition into terminals with a calligraphic sensibility. Capitals are narrow and statuesque, while lowercase maintains a readable, moderate x-height with distinctive, idiosyncratic details in characters like g, y, and j. Numerals follow the same narrow, tapered construction for a cohesive texture in mixed text.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, and cover typography where its tall, flared serif shapes can be appreciated. It can also work for editorial accents—pull quotes, section openers, or short blurbs—especially when a vintage or whimsical tone is desired.
The overall tone feels vintage and theatrical, with a playful, slightly eccentric personality. It evokes old posters, storybook titling, and curated retro packaging—expressive without becoming overtly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif voice with a retro, hand-influenced flavor. Its narrow proportions and expressive terminals suggest a focus on characterful display typography rather than strict neutrality.
In text, the condensed width creates strong vertical rhythm and compact line fit, while the flared terminals add sparkle at larger sizes. The distinctive shapes can become a defining voice in headlines, but the quirky details may be more noticeable in long passages.
