This typeface is a decorative serif with strongly tapered, high-contrast strokes and crisp, flared wedge serifs that often end in sharp, slightly hooked points. Curves are smooth and open, while joins and terminals show a subtly calligraphic, pen-like modulation that gives the outlines a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Proportions are on the wider side with generous bowls and a relatively small x-height, and the lowercase includes tall ascenders/descenders that add vertical elegance. Numerals appear old-style in character, with varying heights and a flowing, italic-influenced construction despite the overall upright stance.
Best suited to display settings such as book covers, chapter titles, posters, and packaging where a literary or fantasy atmosphere is desirable. It can also work for invitations and branded headings when set with ample size and spacing to preserve the delicate stroke work.
The overall tone feels storybook and arcane—refined yet slightly mischievous—suggesting fantasy, folklore, and ornamental display typography. Its sharp terminals and airy strokes create a sense of delicacy and drama, lending text a ceremonial, spellbook-like presence.
The design appears intended to evoke a calligraphic, medieval-inspired serif voice while remaining cleanly upright and typographically structured. It prioritizes character and atmosphere through sharp, flared serifs and high-contrast modulation rather than neutral text performance.
In the sample text the thin hairlines and pointed terminals create a sparkling texture, but the energetic serif shapes and strong modulation also introduce visual noise at smaller sizes. The capital set reads particularly decorative, while the lowercase maintains a more readable, bookish flow with distinctive, stylized details on letters like f, j, k, and y.
