A condensed serif with sharply tapered, spiky terminals and small wedge-like serifs that give strokes a lightly calligraphic finish. The construction stays relatively even in stroke thickness while relying on slender proportions, open counters, and a slightly elastic rhythm across glyphs. Uppercase letters read tall and narrow with crisp joins; lowercase forms are compact with a modest x-height and distinctive, sometimes idiosyncratic shaping (notably in the bowls and hooks). Numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic with crisp, pointed endings that keep the texture lean and airy.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its narrow footprint and distinctive serif detailing can be appreciated—editorial headlines, book or magazine titling, posters, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes and section heads when you want a classic feel with an unusual edge.
The overall tone feels vintage and literary, with a subtly eccentric personality. Its sharp terminals and tight proportions evoke old book typography and editorial titling, but the irregularities in rhythm add a hint of whimsy and charm rather than strict formality.
Likely drawn to deliver a compact serif with a historic, print-inspired flavor while adding personality through sharp, tapered terminals and slightly unconventional letterform decisions. The aim appears to be an elegant, space-efficient texture that remains expressive in titles and editorial settings.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and vertical, creating a strong column-like texture in text. The punctuation and curves maintain the same pointed terminal language, helping the face feel cohesive even at larger sizes.
