A decorative serif with sturdy, bookish proportions and softly modulated stroke contrast. The letterforms use bracketed serifs and distinctive curled, teardrop-like terminals that give many strokes a hooked finish. Rounds are generous and open, with a calm, upright axis and a consistent, readable rhythm in text. Numerals appear oldstyle in feel, with noticeable ascenders/descenders and matching terminal treatments that keep the set cohesive.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a traditional serif foundation is desired but with extra character—such as book covers, chapter openers, pull quotes, and magazine features. It can also support branding, boutique packaging, or invitations where a refined, slightly storybook flavor is helpful, especially at display and subhead sizes.
The overall tone reads traditional yet playful—like a classic text face that has been lightly embellished. The curled terminals add warmth and personality, suggesting a literary, slightly whimsical voice rather than a strictly austere one.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif readability with a signature terminal flourish, creating a recognizable texture without leaving the realm of classic typography. It aims to feel familiar on the page while offering a distinctive, decorative accent in headlines and featured text.
In larger sizes the terminal curls become a defining motif and add charm, while in smaller settings they may register as texture, thickening the color of a paragraph. The design’s ornament is controlled and systematic, repeating across capitals, lowercase, and figures for a unified decorative effect.
