A serif design with crisp, high-contrast strokes, sharp triangular terminals, and subtly bracketed serifs that flare into pointed, wedge-like feet. The capitals feel spacious and sculptural, with a restrained calligraphic influence visible in curved entry strokes and occasional hooked terminals. Lowercase forms are more compact and readable, keeping a steady rhythm while still showing stylized details in letters like a, g, y, and the long, tapered arms on r and t. Numerals are similarly contrasty and serifed, with elegant curves and narrow joins that reinforce a refined, print-like texture.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired, especially for headlines, pull quotes, and chapter openers. The characterful capitals also make it a good fit for invitations, certificates, and boutique branding that wants a refined yet slightly playful historic flavor.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, with a slightly whimsical, storybook edge coming from the hooked and flared terminals. It reads as poised and cultured rather than austere, evoking classic publishing and ornamental titling without becoming overly ornate.
The font appears designed to merge traditional serif construction with expressive, pointed terminals and gentle calligraphic cues, creating a distinctive voice for display and editorial contexts while retaining enough structure for comfortable reading at larger text sizes.
The design’s personality is most pronounced in the capitals, where sweeping curves and pointed terminals create distinctive silhouettes; in text settings the same details soften into a lively, engraved-like sparkle. Spacing appears generous in the uppercase, supporting titles and initial caps where the decorative terminals can breathe.
