A condensed serif with a lively, hand-hewn rhythm and pronounced stroke modulation. Strokes taper dramatically into sharp, flared terminals that read like small wedges rather than bracketed serifs, giving many letters a slightly spiky silhouette. Curves are narrow and pinched, with counters that feel tall and tight, while joins and terminals show subtle irregularity that suggests a drawn or engraved construction rather than strict geometric precision. The overall texture is crisp and contrasty, with many verticals carrying the darkest weight and hairlines thinning quickly into pointed ends.
Best suited to display typography where its narrow build and sharp, expressive terminals can be appreciated—titles, headlines, poster copy, packaging labels, and characterful brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or chapter openers, but the busy terminals and tight counters may feel intense in long, small-size text.
The tone is theatrical and storybook-like, with an antique, slightly eccentric personality. Its sharp terminals and narrow proportions add tension and drama, while the uneven, calligraphic finish keeps it from feeling cold or purely formal.
The design appears intended to deliver an antique, decorative serif voice with condensed efficiency, combining dramatic contrast and flared terminals to create a distinctive, memorable texture in headings and titling.
Capitals are especially stately and compressed, producing a strong vertical cadence in all-caps settings. Numerals follow the same tapered, pointed logic, keeping the set visually consistent for display use.
