This serif face is built from tall, condensed letterforms with a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes show noticeable tapering and mild modulation, with small bracketed serifs that flare and hook in places, giving terminals an inked, slightly quirky finish. Curves are narrow and upright, counters stay relatively tight, and proportions vary subtly from glyph to glyph, contributing to an organic, irregular texture while remaining readable. Numerals follow the same narrow, tapered construction, with open, airy forms and modest footed details.
It works best for display and short-form editorial settings where its narrow width can fit long titles and its textured serif detailing can be appreciated. Suitable uses include book covers, period-inspired posters, pull quotes, and packaging or branding that benefits from an antique, literary feel.
The overall tone feels antique and literary, like late-19th-century printing with a touch of whimsy. Its narrow verticality and subtly eccentric detailing create a curious, storybook voice—formal enough to suggest tradition, but playful enough to feel characterful rather than strict.
The design appears intended to evoke classic printing with an individualized, slightly idiosyncratic serif construction. It prioritizes character and atmosphere—through tall proportions, tapered strokes, and expressive terminals—while maintaining enough clarity for display text and occasional larger-size passages.
In running text, the compressed width creates strong vertical cadence and a slightly mottled color from the tapered joins and small serifs. Distinctive shapes—especially in curved letters and the more calligraphic lowercase—add personality that becomes more apparent at larger sizes.
