A decorative serif with sculpted, flared terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that often curl into teardrop-like ends. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines and weight concentrated in rounded bowls and vertical stems. The letterforms lean classical in skeleton but are intentionally idiosyncratic: caps have broad, swelling proportions, while many lowercase characters feature expressive tails and ear-like hooks (notably on g, j, y, and z). Curves are lively and slightly irregular, with a soft, inked feel in corners and joins that reads like stylized pen work rather than strict geometric construction.
Best suited to display use such as book titles, poster headlines, packaging, and branding where its expressive terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes, but the pronounced detailing may feel busy for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is theatrical and storybook-like—refined at a glance, but with playful eccentricities that keep it from feeling formal. Its ornate terminals and animated descenders suggest vintage display typography, evoking old print ephemera, fantasy headings, or whimsical editorial styling.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif structure with a playful, ornamental finish—prioritizing character and historic charm while retaining recognizable, readable forms. The combination of high modulation and curling, flared terminals suggests a deliberate aim for dramatic, memorable typography rather than neutral text work.
In text settings, the distinctive terminals and strong modulation create a pronounced rhythm and a textured color on the line. The figures echo the same flared, bracketed behavior, with curved feet and pointed hairline details that reinforce the decorative voice.
