A decorative, calligraphic serif with compact proportions, a short x-height, and a steady upright stance. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation, with gently bracketed serifs and frequent curled terminals that give many letters a hook-like finish. Capitals are prominent and slightly embellished, while lowercase forms stay relatively narrow and tidy, producing an even color in text with a lively, slightly bouncy rhythm. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing sturdy stems with rounded bowls and occasional flourished endings.
Best suited to headlines, short passages, and display typography where its curled terminals and calligraphic flavor can be appreciated. It works well for book covers, event materials, boutique branding, menus, and invitations—especially when a vintage or storybook tone is desired. For longer body text, larger sizes and generous leading help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels traditional and slightly playful, like an old-world display face adapted for cheerful, literary settings. Its curls and soft contrast suggest ceremony and craft, while the tight spacing and spirited terminals keep it from reading as overly austere.
The font appears designed to evoke hand-crafted, formal lettering with decorative flourishes while maintaining a controlled, consistent structure across the alphabet. The goal seems to be an expressive display serif that feels traditional and charming without becoming overly elaborate.
The design relies on terminal curls and serif shaping more than extreme contrast, so it retains good presence at medium sizes while still reading as decorative. Curved letters (C, G, S) and looped forms add a distinctive texture, and the capital set carries much of the personality for titling.
