This typeface is a serif design with subtly flared stroke endings and a lightly calligraphic rhythm. Stems are generally slim and vertical, with moderate thick–thin modulation and crisp, sculpted terminals that often taper or hook rather than ending in blunt slabs. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with long ascenders and compact counters, while several letters feature distinctive, curled details (notably in forms like g, q, and the round letters) that add ornament without turning into full swash lettering. Numerals and capitals keep the same narrow, upright stance, pairing sharp joins with rounded bowls for a controlled, slightly decorative texture in text.
It suits book covers, editorial headlines, and poster typography where a classic serif voice with extra character is desirable. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for a vintage or boutique feel, especially when set with generous spacing or at larger sizes to showcase the flared terminals and distinctive curves.
The overall tone feels literary and old-world, with a faintly theatrical, storybook flavor. Its flared finishes and idiosyncratic letterforms bring a touch of whimsy and eccentricity, suggesting craft and character rather than strict neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif with flared, calligraphy-influenced endings and a narrow, upright structure, adding expressive quirks to increase memorability. It balances conventional proportions with selective ornamental touches to feel both familiar and distinctive.
In running text the font produces a dark, lively color, with prominent verticals and distinctive internal shapes that draw attention on certain letters. The design reads as intentionally stylized, so its personality becomes more noticeable at display sizes while remaining usable for short text passages.
