A tall, tightly set serif with slender stems and a noticeably condensed footprint. Strokes show gentle modulation, with slightly flared, bracketed serifs and occasional pointed terminals that give the outlines a hand-influenced feel. The counters are relatively open for the width, and the overall texture is vertical and airy, with subtle irregularities in curves and joins that keep the rhythm lively rather than strictly mechanical.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book jackets, and display typography where a narrow serif can save space while still feeling traditional. It can also work for boutique packaging and event or cultural posters that benefit from a refined, slightly theatrical voice; for longer passages, it will read best with comfortable size and line spacing.
The tone reads literary and slightly eccentric—classic at a glance, but with enough personality to feel storybook or boutique. Its narrow, elongated forms bring a refined, old-world atmosphere, while the crisp terminals add a faintly dramatic, whimsical edge.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional serif foundation in a condensed, elegant silhouette, while introducing small calligraphic quirks to avoid a purely formal feel. The aim appears to balance classic readability with distinctive character for display-forward settings.
In text, the condensed proportions create a pronounced vertical cadence and can make word shapes feel spiky, especially where sharp serifs and narrow curves cluster. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow styling and maintain the font’s crisp, upright presence.
