A decorative, calligraphic roman with curving, swashed terminals and a lightly modulated stroke that suggests a broad-pen influence without connecting letters. Capitals are notably more ornate than the lowercase, featuring loops, curls, and occasional inward spirals, while the lowercase stays simpler but retains flared ends and subtle irregularity typical of drawn forms. Proportions skew toward a very small x-height with comparatively tall ascenders and descenders, giving text a vertical, old-style rhythm. Overall width varies by glyph, and the figures follow the same hand-formed logic with rounded bowls and tapered finishes.
Well-suited to display typography such as book covers, chapter openers, invitations, labels, and boutique branding where decorative capitals can lead the composition. It can also work for short excerpts or pull quotes when set generously, but is better reserved for larger sizes where the swashes and tapered details remain clear.
The font conveys a storybook, old-world charm—formal enough to feel ceremonial, yet playful through its lively swashes and idiosyncratic letterforms. Its curled capitals add a theatrical, slightly magical tone that reads as decorative rather than strictly traditional.
Likely drawn to evoke historical calligraphy and ornamental manuscript lettering in a practical, unconnected roman structure. The intent appears to balance legibility with flourish, using restrained contrast and distinctive terminals to deliver a distinctive, curated display voice.
The design’s personality is concentrated in the uppercase set, where flourishes create strong entry points for headlines and initial caps. In longer passages, the tight x-height and ornamented shapes increase texture and can feel busy at smaller sizes, while larger settings let the curves and terminal details breathe.
