A decorative serif with sharp, flared wedge serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. The forms are mostly upright with a narrow, slightly compressed stance and lively, irregular detailing: many strokes end in pointed beaks, hooks, or small curls rather than flat terminals. Counters tend to be compact and vertically biased, while joins and apertures pinch into thin necks that heighten the crisp, engraved feel. Capitals show expressive diagonals and notched intersections (notably in A, V, W, and X), and the figures mix classic proportions with ornamental quirks such as curled tails and teardrop-like bowls.
This face is best suited to display applications where its ornamental detailing can be appreciated: titles, chapter heads, pull quotes, posters, and branded wordmarks. It can work for short text in larger sizes, especially in genres that benefit from a historical or fantastical voice, but is less suited to dense, continuous reading.
The overall tone feels old-world and slightly mischievous—part medieval manuscript, part vintage display lettering. Its sharp serifs and curly terminals give it a theatrical, fairy-tale energy that reads as decorative rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to evoke a historic, engraved or manuscript-inspired aesthetic while remaining legible, using high-contrast strokes, flared serifs, and characterful terminals to add personality and period flavor.
In text, the strong contrast and frequent spikes create a sparkling rhythm, while the distinctive terminals can become visually busy at small sizes. The ampersand and several letters lean into ornamental, almost calligraphic gestures that reinforce its display character.
