A condensed serif with subtly calligraphic construction and flared stroke endings that give stems a tapered, trumpet-like finish. Serifs are sharp and wedge-shaped rather than flat, with pointed terminals that create a slightly spiky texture in text. Curves are narrow and upright, with compact bowls and a tight internal spacing; vertical rhythm dominates, and counters stay small and tall. The lowercase shows a modest x-height and lively, idiosyncratic details—such as a single-storey a and g, a narrow r with a small shoulder, and a t with a compact crossbar—while figures are similarly narrow and stylized.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book covers, and brand marks where its flared terminals and condensed rhythm can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or section titles, but the spiky detailing and tight counters may feel busy for extended small-size text.
The overall tone feels vintage and slightly theatrical, balancing refinement with a quirky, expressive edge. Its pointed, flared endings add drama and a hand-influenced presence without reading as fully script-like. The tight proportions and strong verticality also lend it a formal, poster-era character that can feel both bookish and eccentric.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive condensed voice that references historical serif forms while adding flair through tapered, pointed terminals. The aim appears to be memorable display typography with a refined silhouette and enough eccentric detail to stand out in branding and titling.
The texture in longer lines is lively due to the combination of narrow proportions, pointed terminals, and unevenly energetic curves across letters. Round forms (like O, C, and e) appear tall and compressed, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read crisp and sharp, reinforcing a carved, display-oriented feel.
