A decorative serif with slender, slightly irregular strokes and a lively, hand-inked rhythm. Serifs are small and often flared or wedge-like, with noticeable bracketing and occasional sharp, triangular terminals that give the outlines a prickly, carved feel. Curves are narrow and pulled tall, counters are compact, and many joins show subtle tapering as if from a pointed pen. The lowercase features a small x-height with long ascenders and descenders, and forms like the single-storey a and g reinforce the old-style, calligraphic construction. Numerals follow the same narrow, tapered logic with distinctive curves and terminals that read as ornamental rather than strictly text-optimized.
Best suited to display settings where its distinctive terminals and narrow, old-style forms can be appreciated—titles, chapter heads, book covers, posters, and thematic packaging. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a vintage, literary texture is desired, but the decorative stroke endings and tight counters will be more comfortable at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is antique and storybook-like, mixing scholarly gravitas with a slightly mischievous, whimsical edge. Its sharp terminals and narrow proportions create a dramatic, somewhat gothic flavor without becoming fully blackletter, making it feel theatrical and period-tinged.
The design intention appears to be an old-style serif interpreted through a decorative, calligraphy-led lens: preserve traditional proportions and serifs while adding expressive tapering and spiky terminals for character. It aims to evoke historical print and inked lettering while remaining legible enough for prominent editorial and branding use.
In text, the lively terminals and tight internal space create a strong texture and a distinctly decorative color, especially around letters with hooks and beaks (such as j, y, and g). Capitals appear more formal and inscriptional, while the lowercase introduces more personality through tapered strokes and quirky details, producing a noticeable case-contrast in voice.
