A very slender, condensed slab-serif with hairline strokes and crisp, square-ended serifs. The letterforms emphasize tall verticals and narrow bowls, producing a tight rhythm and a lot of white space inside and around characters. Curves are clean and controlled, with pointed joins and tapered terminals appearing in places (notably in diagonals and some lowercase forms), while overall stroke behavior remains even and restrained. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast-in-feel (though subtly modulated) construction, with simple, linear shapes and minimal embellishment.
This design is best suited to display settings where its tall, slender silhouette can be appreciated—headlines, titling, posters, and cover typography. It can also work well for fashion, boutique packaging, and invitation-style materials where a delicate, distinctive slab-serif voice is desirable. For comfortable reading, it will generally perform better at larger sizes or in short passages than in dense body copy.
The overall tone is refined and fragile, with a slightly offbeat, storybook quality created by the extra-tall proportions and occasional sharp, idiosyncratic details. It reads as elegant and composed at larger sizes, but also distinctly characterful rather than purely utilitarian.
The font appears intended to deliver a distinctive, condensed slab-serif look that feels both elegant and lightly eccentric. Its narrow proportions, hairline construction, and crisp serifs suggest a focus on stylish display typography with a refined, minimal footprint.
Spacing appears relatively open for such condensed forms, helping keep the texture from becoming too dark despite the tall, narrow build. In text, the font’s personality comes through most strongly in its narrow round letters and the long ascenders/descenders, which create a vertical, reed-like texture.
