A decorative serif with pronounced stroke contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals that often resolve into sharp, triangular serifs. Curves are generous and softly swollen, while joins and terminals taper quickly, creating a lively push–pull between thick bowls and hairline connections. Uppercase forms feel slightly formal yet stylized, with distinctive shaping in characters like G, Q, and W that emphasizes inward notches and pointed finials. Lowercase is compact with round counters and strongly modeled serifs; several letters show idiosyncratic construction (notably g, k, and y), reinforcing a handmade, display-oriented rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, sculpted logic, with curving spines and pointed ends that read well at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and cover typography where its sculpted contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for branding accents, packaging, and short editorial pull quotes, but will read most confidently when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is theatrical and storybook-like, combining classical serif cues with playful, almost calligraphic flourishes. Its sharp terminals and swooping curves give it a slightly mysterious, ornamental character—more expressive than sober, and more dramatic than academic.
The design intent appears to be a characterful display serif that nods to classical proportions while introducing ornamental, tapered detailing for personality and flair. It prioritizes memorable silhouettes and expressive rhythm over neutral, long-form text economy.
Spacing and letterfit appear intentionally uneven in a way that contributes to a decorative texture rather than a strictly uniform text color. The font’s distinctive terminals and irregular inner cut-ins create memorable word shapes, especially in title case and short phrases.
