A decorative serif with high-contrast strokes and sharp, flared terminals that read as small wedges rather than blunt slabs. Curves are generously rounded, while joins and stroke endings taper quickly into pointed serifs, giving letters a lively, calligraphic snap. The capitals feel open and slightly expansive, with classical proportions and crisp hairlines; the lowercase shows a tall x-height and prominent entry/exit strokes that create a gently undulating baseline rhythm. Figures are similarly stylized, with sweeping curves and tapered finishes that keep the numerals consistent with the letterforms’ ornamental cadence.
Best suited to display sizes where the sharp flares and contrast can read cleanly—titles, magazine headers, pull quotes, and poster typography. Its expressive serifs also make it a natural fit for book covers, cultural events, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from an elegant yet characterful serif presence.
The overall tone is literary and dramatic—refined enough to feel classical, but with a playful, slightly storybook flair from the sharp flares and soft, rounded bowls. It suggests a curated, boutique character rather than a strictly formal text face, lending a sense of personality and theatrical polish to headlines.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical serif foundation with more pronounced flared serifs and calligraphic tapering, prioritizing personality and visual rhythm. It aims to deliver an elegant display texture that feels historical and crafted without becoming overly ornate.
In running text, the strong contrast and pronounced terminals create a textured, sparkling rhythm; counters stay fairly open, but the energetic serifs and swashy shaping make the design more attention-grabbing than purely utilitarian. The distinctive treatment of curves and terminals is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a coherent decorative voice.
