This serif shows strongly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that often taper into pointed terminals. The letterforms are drawn with a right-leaning, reverse-italic posture and a subtly calligraphic rhythm, with gently uneven curves and slightly springy joins. Capitals are broad and assertive, while lowercase forms use compact bowls and distinctive, sometimes swashy terminals (notably in letters like a, f, g, y, and the tail of Q). Numerals follow the same lively modulation, with curving, old-style-like silhouettes and pronounced terminals that keep the set visually consistent.
It works best for display-driven typography such as headlines, book covers, and editorial features where personality is desired. The flared endings and lively slant also suit packaging and poster work, especially for heritage or arts-oriented themes. For long passages, it will read more as a stylistic text face than a neutral workhorse due to its animated forms and strong terminal treatment.
The overall tone feels expressive and characterful rather than strictly formal. Its reverse-italic slant and flared endings suggest a handcrafted, slightly eccentric, old-world sensibility that reads as literary and theatrical.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with a more dynamic, calligraphic edge—using flared terminals, tapered serifs, and a reverse-italic lean to create a recognizable, energetic texture in setting.
Spacing appears intentionally animated, with varied widths and pronounced diagonals that create a rolling texture across words. The design’s sharp, tapered finishing strokes can look especially energetic at display sizes, where the distinctive terminals and tails become key identifying features.
