A condensed serif with tall proportions, small counters, and a slightly uneven, hand-inked rhythm. Strokes stay relatively even in thickness but show subtle wobble and tapering, with sharp, thorn-like bracketed serifs and occasional hooky terminals. Curves are narrow and upright, and joints often pinch into pointed connections, giving letters a dry, etched texture. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction with distinctive, idiosyncratic shapes and small internal space.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text where a vintage or handcrafted serif voice is desired—such as book covers, display headlines, pull quotes, and themed packaging. It can also work for editorial settings when used at comfortable sizes with generous spacing to keep the narrow counters from closing up.
The overall tone feels old-world and slightly eccentric—part antique book type, part quirky letterpress. Its spiky serifs and irregular stroke behavior add a handmade, storybook character that can read as playful or gently gothic depending on context.
The design appears intended to evoke an antique, letterpress-like serif with a deliberately irregular, hand-drawn finish. Its condensed build and spiky serif detailing prioritize character and period flavor over neutrality.
The tight interior spaces and condensed forms increase texture and density in paragraphs, while the distinctive serif shapes remain a key identifying feature at larger sizes. Round letters (C, O, Q) read notably narrow, reinforcing the font’s vertical emphasis.
