A condensed serif with tall, narrow proportions and a lively, hand-cut rhythm. Stems stay relatively even in weight while subtly widening into flared terminals rather than forming hard, bracketed serifs. Curves are slightly irregular and pinched in places, giving bowls and rounds a taut, vertical tension; counters remain narrow and elongated. The lowercase shows compact, upright forms with noticeable ascenders and descenders, and the numerals follow the same slender, vertical construction for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where its condensed width and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for editorial titling, book covers, posters, and branding that aims for a vintage or literary mood. In longer text, it will create a tight, vertical texture that can be effective for atmospheric passages or pull quotes.
The overall tone feels vintage and literary, with a slightly eccentric, storybook character. Its narrow, upright stance reads poised and dramatic, while the flared endings and pinched curves add a quirky, handcrafted edge that keeps it from feeling purely formal.
The design appears intended to deliver an old-style, display-oriented serif voice in a space-saving, condensed form. Its flared terminals and subtly irregular shaping suggest an attempt to evoke hand-rendered or engraved lettering while maintaining a clean, upright readability.
Spacing appears tight by nature of the condensed design, producing a dark, vertical color in lines of text. The silhouette of capitals is particularly tall and monolinear, and punctuation and figures match the font’s narrow, high-contrast-in-shape (not stroke) look, supporting consistent display setting.
