A condensed serif with tall proportions, minimal stroke modulation, and crisp, pointed wedge-like terminals. The letterforms keep an upright axis and a steady vertical rhythm, while allowing noticeable width variation across glyphs (from very slim stems to broader rounds). Curves are slightly pinched and elongated, with narrow apertures and occasional looped or curled details in bowls and descenders that add texture without becoming fully calligraphic. Numerals and capitals share the same slender, high-waisted feel, producing a tight, vertical color on the line.
Best suited for display roles such as headlines, book covers, posters, and packaging where its condensed silhouette and distinctive serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes, especially when a vintage or storybook mood is desired, but its eccentric details may be less comfortable for long body text.
The overall tone reads quirky and literary—evoking antique book typography, curiosity-shop signage, and storybook titling. Its narrow stance and sharp terminals give it a slightly gothic, mysterious edge, while the playful loops keep it friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a recognizable, old-world serif voice in a compact width, combining restrained contrast with sharp terminals and selective ornamental quirks. It prioritizes personality and vertical elegance over neutral text invisibility.
In the text sample, the tight spacing and condensed shapes create a strong vertical cadence, making the face feel energetic and distinctive in mixed-case settings. Some glyphs show intentionally idiosyncratic detailing (notably in curved letters and descenders), which contributes to character but can draw attention at smaller sizes.
