A decorative serif with slender, high-contrast strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs, embellished by frequent curled terminals and small swash-like hooks. Uppercase forms are relatively narrow and tall with conspicuous entry curls on letters like A, B, D, and P, while lowercase stays more text-like but still carries distinctive curls on g, j, y, and several ascenders. Curves are smooth and round, counters are open, and stroke modulation reads as pen-influenced, with thin hairlines in joins and terminals. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and include subtle terminal flicks, keeping the set visually consistent.
Best suited to headlines, short display lines, invitations, and brand marks where the curled terminals can read clearly. It can work for pull quotes or short editorial accents, and for packaging or book-cover typography that benefits from a decorative, refined serif voice.
The overall tone feels elegant and lightly theatrical, combining classical serif structure with playful flourishes. It suggests a boutique, romantic, or storybook sensibility—polished rather than rustic—adding personality without becoming fully script-like.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical serif foundation with added decorative curls for charm and memorability, aiming at expressive display settings while retaining enough structure to remain readable in brief text.
Swash behavior is most pronounced in capitals and select lowercase letters, creating a distinctive rhythm in titles and initial caps. In longer passages the repeated curls become a defining texture, so spacing and line length will influence how ornamental it feels.
