A decorative serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and a wide, open stance. Serifs are bracketed and often curl into soft hooks, with frequent ball terminals and teardrop-like endings that give many letters a sculpted, calligraphic finish. Uppercase forms feature pronounced ornamental terminals (notably in letters like C, E, G, J, Q, S, and T), while the lowercase is comparatively steadier but still punctuated by rounded terminals and occasional curls. Counters are generous and the rhythm is lively, with slightly individualized widths across characters that adds a hand-shaped feel without breaking overall consistency.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where the ornamental serif work can be appreciated—posters, book covers, packaging, event materials, and logo wordmarks. It can work for pull quotes or section titles, but extended body text may feel busy due to the frequent curls and ball terminals.
The tone is theatrical and playful, leaning toward a vintage, storybook charm rather than strict formality. Its curled terminals and ball details suggest a friendly, slightly mischievous personality—more decorative display than sober text.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with decorative, swash-like finishing to create a distinctive display voice. By combining high-contrast strokes with curled and rounded terminals, it aims to evoke a vintage, handcrafted sensibility while staying legible at larger sizes.
The numerals echo the same motif, with curled or softened terminals on several figures that keep the set cohesive. In paragraph settings the ornamentation remains noticeable, so the face reads best when allowed room and scale, where its distinctive terminals don’t visually crowd neighboring letters.
