A decorative serif with delicate, high-contrast strokes and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Serifs are fine and often flared, and many letters end in curled, calligraphic terminals that add motion without turning the design into a full script. Curves are generous and open, with smooth bowls and subtly tapered joins; proportions vary by glyph, giving the alphabet a hand-touched, characterful feel. The lowercase shows an oldstyle sensibility with a single-storey a and g, while figures appear to be oldstyle, with noticeable ascenders and descenders that blend naturally with the text color.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short passages where the curled terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It works well for book covers, event materials, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from an elegant, slightly eccentric voice. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous leading to keep the ornament from feeling busy.
The tone is refined but playful—more storybook and boutique than strictly formal. Its curls and softened, pen-like details suggest charm and personality, while the crisp contrast and tidy structure keep it feeling curated and elegant.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with selective ornamental flourishes, creating a readable face that still feels special and illustrative. It aims to provide a distinctive, vintage-leaning personality for display typography while remaining coherent enough for occasional text use.
Distinctive swash-like details appear in several capitals (notably the rounded forms), creating strong display moments even at moderate sizes. In paragraph settings the decorative terminals remain visible and give the line a gently animated texture, so spacing and line length will influence how prominent the ornament feels.
