A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines, sturdier verticals, and crisp bracketed serifs. Many capitals feature distinctive curled, inward-turning terminals at the top-left, creating a recurring ornamental motif without becoming fully script-like. Proportions are generously spaced and slightly wide, with open counters and a measured rhythm that keeps paragraphs readable while letting individual letters show personality. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same contrast and serif logic, with occasional subtle curves and tapered joins that emphasize a drawn, calligraphic influence.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book covers, and pull quotes where the ornate capitals can carry personality. It also fits invitations, boutique branding, and packaging that wants a classic foundation with a distinctive flourish. In longer passages it reads best at comfortable sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The tone is elegant and slightly playful, blending classic book typography with decorative flourishes. The curled terminals add a whimsical, storybook feel, suggesting a genteel, old-world character suited to refined yet expressive settings.
The design appears intended to be a conventional serif for readable text, augmented with signature curled terminals to create a recognizable, decorative voice—especially in capitals—without abandoning traditional proportions and spacing.
The decorative curls are most prominent in the uppercase, helping titles and initials stand out, while the lowercase stays comparatively restrained for continuous text. The overall impression is formal rather than rustic, with clean edges and a consistent, deliberate contrast model.
