A decorative serif with sharply flared, wedge-like serifs and crisp, slightly calligraphic stroke endings. The design mixes sturdy main stems with tapered joins and pointed terminals, giving letters a chiseled, ink-and-quill feel rather than a purely geometric construction. Curves are full but controlled (notably in round capitals), while many diagonals and arms finish in triangular tips that add bite to the silhouette. Lowercase forms are compact with a comparatively small x-height and pronounced ascenders/descenders, creating a lively vertical rhythm; numerals follow the same sculpted, flared logic with distinctive angled feet and heads.
Best suited to display work where its chiseled serifs and distinctive terminals can be appreciated—titles, cover typography, chapter openers, pull quotes, and poster headlines. It can set short passages for themed or literary layouts, but the busy serif activity and compact lowercase suggest keeping body copy sizes comfortable and line lengths moderate.
The overall tone reads classic and theatrical—suggesting folklore, fantasy, or antique print without fully imitating any one historical model. Its sharp wedges and animated terminals add a hint of drama and playfulness, making text feel ceremonial and story-driven rather than strictly utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a decorative, old-world serif voice with calligraphic energy—balancing readability with character through wedge serifs, tapered strokes, and pronounced, pointed terminals.
In paragraph settings the strong serif shapes create a textured color and a slightly jittery sparkle from the frequent pointed terminals. The italic is not shown; the sample appears consistently upright, relying on serif flair and tapered strokes for expression rather than slant.
