A light, decorative serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and an incised, calligraphic construction. Strokes show a clear but not extreme modulation, with tapered joins and sharp, triangular feet that give many letters a carved or pen-cut finish. Curves are generous and round (notably in O/C), while several letters introduce playful asymmetries and distinctive entry/exit strokes, creating an uneven but intentional rhythm. Spacing reads moderately open in text, with a slightly lively baseline feel due to varied terminal shapes and directional stress.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text settings where its distinctive serif shapes can be appreciated—titles, pull quotes, magazine headings, and literary or cultural branding. It can work well on book covers, invitations, and premium packaging where a refined, slightly whimsical voice is desired, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is literary and expressive—more fairytale and boutique than strictly classical. Its delicate weight and crisp, flaring serifs convey sophistication, while quirky details in several lowercase forms add charm and personality. The result feels formal-adjacent but approachable, suitable for designs that want elegance with a wink.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through flared, incised terminals and gently calligraphic modulation, aiming for a recognizable voice rather than neutrality. It prioritizes personality and atmosphere—evoking crafted, old-world typography—while maintaining enough structure to function in readable headline and editorial roles.
Uppercase forms present a more stately silhouette, while the lowercase introduces much of the font’s character through idiosyncratic terminals and varied bowl/arm treatments. Numerals appear light and airy, with curving strokes and occasional tapered ends that match the letterforms. At smaller sizes, the fine joins and sharp flares may read best with ample size and comfortable tracking.
