A condensed serif with tall proportions and a rhythmic, slightly springy silhouette. Strokes remain generally even while subtly tapering into sharp, flared serif-like terminals, giving many letters a carved, wedged finish. Curves are narrow and upright, with compact bowls and tight interior counters; joins and terminals often end in small points or beak-like flicks that add character without heavy contrast. The overall color is firm and dark, with consistent spacing and a distinctive, decorative construction that stays coherent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best used at display sizes where the pointed terminals and flared details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book-cover titling, and packaging. It can also serve editorial pull quotes or section openers where a condensed serif is needed with more personality than a conventional text face.
The tone feels vintage and editorial, with a hint of theatrical flair. Its narrow, spiky terminals and tall stance suggest old posters, display titling, and storybook headings—confident, a little quirky, and slightly dramatic rather than purely formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing serif for titling, combining traditional serif cues with decorative, wedge-like terminals to create a memorable, period-tinged voice.
Several glyphs show intentional asymmetries and idiosyncratic terminal shapes that read as design features, not distortion. Numerals follow the same condensed, flared logic, helping headlines keep a consistent texture when mixing letters and figures.
