A decorative serif with a condensed stance and crisp, slightly calligraphic construction. Strokes are generally slender with moderate thick–thin modulation, and many terminals end in sharp, wedge-like flicks that read as spiky serifs rather than flat brackets. Curves are kept taut and upright, with narrow bowls and tall, arched forms; the lowercase shows compact counters and a single-storey “a,” while the overall rhythm stays disciplined despite the ornamental endings. Numerals and capitals maintain the same narrow proportions and pointed finishing, giving the set a coherent, vertical texture.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book and album covers, and branding where an atmospheric, stylized serif can carry the visual identity. It can work for short pull quotes or titling in editorial layouts, but is likely to be more effective in larger sizes than in dense body text due to its pointed terminals and condensed texture.
The sharp, flared terminals and narrow silhouettes create a theatrical, slightly gothic mood—part old-world display, part quirky fairytale. It feels formal at a glance but reveals a playful edge in the hooked endings and stylized curves, lending a mysterious, period-tinged tone without becoming overly heavy.
The design appears intended to modernize a historic, ornamental serif flavor—prioritizing a tall, elegant silhouette and distinctive, flared finishing strokes to deliver immediate character in display typography.
In paragraph samples the pointed terminals create a lively sparkle along baselines and cap lines, which adds character but can also introduce visual noise at smaller sizes. The design reads most confidently when given room for its sharp details and verticality to show, especially in capitals and short phrases.
