A decorative serif with calligraphic, flared strokes and soft, bracketed terminals that create a gently tapered texture. Capitals are tall and slightly narrow with classical proportions and subtly varied curve tension, while the lowercase shows a noticeably short x-height with long extenders. Strokes transition between thick and thin in a restrained way, and many joins and endings feel pen-driven rather than purely geometric. Overall spacing reads even and text forms a coherent rhythm despite the lively, irregular details in curves and serifs.
Well suited to display settings where personality is desired—book and chapter titles, cultural posters, boutique packaging, and invitations. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or introductory paragraphs, where the short x-height and decorative terminals remain comfortable at moderate sizes.
The face conveys an old-world, literary tone with a touch of whimsy—more fairy-tale and antiquarian than strictly formal. Its pen-like modulation and curved terminals suggest handcrafted lettering, lending warmth and personality to headings and short passages.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional, hand-influenced serif lettering while adding a distinctive decorative flavor. It aims to balance legibility with character, delivering a refined yet playful voice for headline-driven typography.
Distinctive, slightly unconventional construction appears in several glyphs through curved, swelling stems and tapered feet, giving the design a decorative edge while remaining legible. Numerals follow the same flared, calligraphic logic, with open counters and pronounced stroke endings that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
