A compact, tightly set serif with tall proportions and pronounced bracketed serifs that flare into wedge-like feet and caps. Strokes show modest modulation with rounded joins and slightly pinched transitions, giving many letters soft, ink-like shaping rather than rigid geometry. Curves are narrow and vertical (notably in O, Q, and C), while horizontals and terminals often end in bulbous or clubbed forms that add a decorative, handcrafted finish. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed rhythm with distinctive, sculpted terminals.
This style suits display settings where a vintage or storybook mood is desired—posters, chapter headings, book covers, packaging, and identity work that benefits from a compact footprint. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when a distinctive, old-print flavor is more important than neutral readability.
The overall tone feels vintage and characterful—suggestive of antique printing, period signage, and book typography with a playful twist. Its narrow, upright stance reads disciplined, while the quirky terminals and flared serifs add whimsy and theatricality. The result is an expressive serif that feels literary and slightly eccentric rather than purely formal.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with decorative terminal shaping, delivering an antique-print personality in a space-saving, tall silhouette. It emphasizes distinctive serifs and sculpted endings to create a recognizable voice for editorial and display typography.
Letterforms maintain a consistent vertical tension and tight internal counters, creating a dense color on the page. The italic-free, straight posture and emphatic serifs make it especially noticeable at larger sizes, where the terminal detailing becomes a defining feature.
