This serif design features strongly modulated strokes with a crisp vertical stress and delicate hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and often curl into small hook-like terminals, creating a decorative, slightly flourished silhouette without becoming fully script-like. Uppercase forms feel tall and poised with open counters and pronounced entry/exit curls on letters like C, G, J, and Q; the Q has a sweeping, calligraphic tail. Lowercase is compact with modest ascenders and a notably small x-height, while round letters (o, e, c) show a teardrop-like modulation and clean, tapered joins. Numerals follow the same contrasty, classical construction, with elegant curves and tapered terminals.
It suits book covers, chapter openers, and editorial headlines where a traditional serif with personality is desired. The ornamented terminals also work well for invitations, boutique packaging, and display typography that benefits from a refined, vintage-leaning voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a playful, ornamental twist from the curled serifs and swash-like terminals. It evokes an old-style, bookish atmosphere—polished and traditional, yet lightly whimsical and characterful rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to blend old-style readability with decorative, calligraphic gestures, giving standard roman forms a more animated, handcrafted feel. Its curled terminals and high-contrast modulation suggest an emphasis on expressive display use while remaining coherent in short text settings.
In running text the face maintains a steady vertical rhythm, but the decorative terminals add sparkle at larger sizes. Capitals carry most of the flourish, making initial caps and title settings particularly expressive.
