A tall, compact serif with noticeably narrow proportions and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes show gentle modulation with tapered joins and small, flared serifs that often end in pointed, wedge-like terminals. Curves are crisp and a bit pinched in places, while verticals stay dominant, giving the face a slender, high-contrast-in-spirit silhouette without becoming delicate. The lowercase keeps a fairly standard x-height but feels elegant due to long ascenders/descenders and narrow bowls; overall spacing appears tight and text sets with a vertical, columnar texture.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its narrow width and distinctive serif terminals can add personality—book covers, editorial headlines, pull quotes, posters, and boutique branding. It can work for body text in calmer layouts, especially where a slightly vintage, literary voice is desired and tight spacing is acceptable.
The overall tone is antique and slightly whimsical, like a vintage book face with a touch of theatrical flair. Its spiky terminals and narrow stance add character and a faintly quirky, handcrafted feel that reads as literary rather than corporate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through a narrower, more characterful construction, using tapered strokes and expressive terminals to create an old-world, storybook texture that stands out in titles and editorial settings.
The uppercase shows strong, display-like presence with tall stems and compact counters, while the numerals follow the same narrow, tapered construction, helping headings and mixed text retain consistent color. At larger sizes, the distinctive terminal shapes and tapered serifs become a primary identifying feature.
