A calligraphic roman with clean, mostly even strokes and pronounced flared terminals. Capitals are the main display feature, showing curled entry strokes and small swash-like hooks that add ornament without connecting letters. Lowercase is simpler and more contemporary in structure, with rounded bowls, open counters, and straightforward stems that keep text legible. Numerals follow the same smooth, slightly humanist rhythm, with gentle curvature and a few tapered endings that echo the caps.
Best suited to headlines, wordmarks, packaging, and event pieces where the decorative capitals can carry personality. It also works for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing, especially in contexts that benefit from a classic-yet-approachable tone such as hospitality, artisanal goods, and editorial display.
The overall tone feels classic and slightly playful—formal enough to suggest tradition, yet softened by the curled terminals and friendly roundness. It reads as boutique and storybook-adjacent, with a light theatrical flair in the uppercase.
The font appears designed to blend a clean, readable skeleton with selective calligraphic flourish—especially in the uppercase—to provide instant character in display settings while keeping everyday text shapes uncomplicated.
The design creates a noticeable contrast between ornate capitals and restrained lowercase, which can be used intentionally for emphasis in titles, initials, and short phrases. Curved terminals and subtle tapering give the face a drawn, sign-like finish even while maintaining a tidy, consistent rhythm in running text.
