A tall, tightly proportioned serif with gently flared stroke endings and a subtly tapered, hand-cut flavor. Stems remain fairly even in thickness, while terminals and joins swell into small wedges, creating a rhythmic, slightly incised texture. Uppercase forms are narrow and vertical with pointed apexes and compact bowls; lowercase shows a modest x-height, long ascenders, and distinctive, sometimes asymmetrical details (notably in characters like g, y, and k). Overall spacing is measured and columnar, with crisp counters and a consistent, lightly calligraphic edge to the outlines.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where its narrow, tall rhythm can build atmosphere—such as book covers, editorial titling, theatrical posters, packaging, and identity wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when a vintage, literary voice is desired.
The font conveys a vintage, storybook tone—formal enough to feel established, but with a wry, slightly eccentric personality. Its narrow stance and flared endings add drama and a hint of old-world printing, making text feel theatrical and characterful rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears aimed at delivering an old-style serif with flared, slightly calligraphic terminals that compresses well horizontally while keeping strong vertical presence. It prioritizes character and historical resonance over neutrality, offering a distinctive texture for display and expressive editorial settings.
The numerals follow the same narrow, tapered logic and read well at display sizes, with a classic, poster-like presence. Across the sample text, the repeated wedge terminals create a cohesive vertical cadence, while occasional irregularities in curves and spur shapes add charm and a handcrafted impression.
