A decorative serif with soft, bracketed serifs and gently flared strokes that keep contrast modest while still feeling calligraphic. Many glyphs feature curled or hooked terminals and occasional ball terminals, giving the outlines a lively, slightly eccentric rhythm. Uppercase forms are stately but not rigid, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure with a two-storey a and g and a readable, moderate x-height. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and flowing shapes that integrate well with running text.
Well suited for book covers, editorial headlines, and short passages where a classic serif is desired with a bit of character. It can also support boutique branding and packaging that benefits from a heritage feel, especially when set larger to let the terminal details read clearly.
The overall tone is literary and slightly whimsical, like a vintage storybook or a lightly ornamental classic. Its quirky terminals add personality without turning into novelty, suggesting warmth and human touch rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif for expressive typography, preserving familiar text-serif construction while adding distinctive curled terminals and oldstyle numeral behavior to create a more memorable voice.
Round characters (such as O/Q and o) are notably open and smooth, and several glyphs include distinctive interior or terminal details that read as intentional ornament rather than texture. The font maintains consistent weight and spacing in text, but its standout details are most noticeable at display sizes.
