A decorative calligraphic serif with brisk, triangular terminals and frequent looped entry/exit strokes. The uppercase alphabet carries the strongest personality: many letters feature inward curls, small spirals, and occasional ball-like terminals that read as pen-made ornaments rather than pure geometric shapes. Stems are generally firm and upright with moderate contrast, while crossbars and hairlines stay crisp; curves are smooth but end in sharp, tapered points. Lowercase forms are comparatively restrained and readable, with a compact x-height and sturdy serifs, creating a clear hierarchy between text and display characters.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the swashed capitals can be featured—titles, posters, packaging, event collateral, and branding marks. It can work for occasional emphasis within running text, but the compact x-height and ornamental caps make it most effective when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels theatrical and storybook-like—polished enough for invitations or chapter titles, yet playful thanks to the recurring curls and swashes. It suggests a vintage, slightly gothic romanticism without becoming heavy or blackletter-like, giving headlines a sense of ceremony and charm.
The design appears intended to merge readable old-style serif construction with calligraphic embellishment, providing expressive caps and a more practical lowercase for mixed-case setting. Its ornamentation is tuned to create distinctive word shapes and a crafted, formal character for decorative typography.
The flourish system is not uniform across all letters, which adds a hand-rendered, bespoke flavor in display settings. Numerals appear simpler and more classical, with occasional gentle curvature and pointed finishing strokes that keep them consistent with the letterforms.
