A decorative serif with slender proportions and a gently calligraphic build. Strokes taper and swell with clear contrast, and terminals often finish in pointed, blade-like tips or small teardrop forms rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are present but behave more like flared, drawn endings than strict bracketed book serifs, giving many letters a slightly irregular, hand-shaped feel. Curves are tight and lively, with distinctive bowls and occasional hooked descenders, producing an energetic rhythm in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at display sizes where its delicate terminals and idiosyncratic forms can be appreciated. It works well for editorial headlines, book or album covers, event posters, themed packaging, and brand marks that want a vintage, storybook, or slightly gothic mood.
The overall tone feels whimsical and old-world, with a lightly gothic, fairy-tale flavor. Its sharp tips and playful curves create a quirky, theatrical voice that reads as expressive and characterful rather than neutral or academic.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive serif voice with hand-drawn flair—mixing traditional serif structure with sharpened, decorative terminals to create a memorable, period-tinged texture for expressive typography.
Capitals show a display-like personality with stylized diagonals and asymmetric details, while the lowercase keeps a compact, animated texture with notably distinctive forms for letters like g, y, and s. Numerals follow the same drawn logic, with curved figures and expressive terminals that prioritize character over strict uniformity.
