A decorative serif with slender stems, moderately bracketed serifs, and frequent flared or tapered terminals that create a lively silhouette. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic in stress, with delicate entry/exit strokes and occasional teardrop-like ends, especially noticeable in the lowercase. Proportions feel generously set with open bowls and a readable, traditional skeleton, while several letters introduce distinctive quirks (such as the more playful shapes in g, j, and y) that add personality without breaking overall consistency. Numerals echo the same refined contrast and terminal treatment, reading as classic but subtly stylized.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other medium-to-large settings where the tapered terminals and serif shaping remain clear. It can work for short editorial passages or literary packaging when a classic serif voice is desired with an extra touch of personality.
The tone is bookish and elegant with a gentle eccentricity—more storybook and cultured than strictly formal. It suggests a traditional, editorial voice, but with enough flourish to feel distinctive and slightly theatrical in display settings.
Likely designed to reinterpret a traditional serif model with more expressive terminals and softened, calligraphic shaping, balancing readability with a distinctive, decorative signature for display-oriented typography.
The design’s character comes through in its terminal details and the way serifs and joins soften into curves rather than ending abruptly. In text, the rhythm stays even, but the idiosyncratic lowercase forms add a noticeable decorative sparkle that becomes more prominent at larger sizes.
