A stylized calligraphic serif with flared, tapered strokes and subtly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a consistent pen-driven modulation, with rounded joins, soft curves, and occasional swash-like terminals on capitals. Proportions are compact with small interior counters and relatively short lowercase bodies, while ascenders and descenders add a rhythmic vertical presence. Spacing feels even and controlled, preserving clarity despite the decorative terminals and narrow, upright construction.
Best suited for display settings where its calligraphic detailing can be appreciated—titles, chapter heads, book covers, posters, and packaging. It also fits formal or ceremonial materials such as invitations and announcements, and can add an old-world touch to branding when used sparingly.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a mildly ornate, hand-rendered elegance. It evokes historic titling, fairytale and fantasy headings, and formal invitations, balancing refinement with a slightly whimsical flourish.
Likely designed to deliver a formal, pen-made look with controlled ornamentation—decorative enough to feel special, but structured enough to remain legible in short passages and prominent headings.
Capitals carry the most personality through curled entry/exit strokes and sculpted bowls, while the lowercase remains more restrained for readability. Numerals mirror the same tapered, calligraphic logic, with distinctive curves and angled terminals that keep them visually consistent with the alphabet.
