A calligraphic serif with slender strokes and crisp, flared terminals that often sharpen into small wedges. The letterforms mix gentle curves with angular joins, producing a slightly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm rather than strict geometric repetition. Capitals are prominent and decorative, with occasional internal curls and asymmetric swashes, while lowercase forms stay compact with small counters and a lively, varied silhouette. Numerals follow the same drawn-pen logic, with tapered ends and subtle stroke modulation that keeps the texture airy.
Best suited to display applications such as book or chapter titles, fantasy and historical-themed branding, posters, and packaging. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes where a decorative, old-world voice is desired, ideally at sizes large enough to preserve the fine tapered details.
The overall tone feels medieval and storybook-like, balancing formality with a playful, slightly mischievous edge. Its spiky terminals and quirky capitals suggest fantasy, folklore, and period-inspired display work rather than modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke pen-drawn, old-world lettering with a refined but characterful texture. By combining flared serif gestures, pointed terminals, and expressive capitals, it aims to deliver a distinctive period tone for decorative typography.
Spacing appears intentionally uneven in a handcrafted way, and the design relies on distinctive capital shapes for personality. The small lowercase proportions make the font read more like a decorative text face than a conventional book serif, especially at smaller sizes.
