A decorative serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes taper into flared, curled terminals and occasional teardrop-like finials, giving counters and joins a lively, hand-influenced rhythm. Proportions feel generous and open, with rounded bowls, slightly soft shoulders, and a consistent upright stance; details such as the looping descenders and varied terminal treatments add character without turning into full script.
Best suited to display typography where its terminal flourishes and contrast can be appreciated—titles, chapter heads, posters, packaging, and branding marks that benefit from a whimsical vintage voice. It can work for short editorial callouts, but extended small-size text may feel busy due to the many decorative stroke endings.
The tone reads playful and old-world, like a vintage book face with a mischievous twist. Its curlicue terminals and animated curves suggest craft, folklore, and a slightly theatrical personality rather than sober formality.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with expressive, hand-drawn-like terminal behavior, creating a distinctive display face that feels literary and ornamental while remaining legible in larger settings.
Several letters show distinctive idiosyncrasies (notably in the diagonals and descenders), which increases charm at display sizes but creates a textured, bouncy color in longer settings. Numerals echo the same flared, curled finishing, helping headlines and short lines feel cohesive.
