A decorative serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, knife-like hairlines paired with weighty verticals. Serifs are flared and often sharply bracketed, with wedge terminals that create a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Capitals feel sculpted and theatrical, featuring pointed joins and tapered arms, while the lowercase keeps a compact x-height with energetic, sometimes swash-like terminals and a noticeable slant in certain strokes. Overall spacing and widths vary by letter, producing an intentionally uneven, display-oriented texture rather than a strictly regular book face.
Best suited to display sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp terminals can stay clear—headlines, titles, book covers, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or decorative chapter headings, especially in themes that benefit from a classic or fantastical voice.
The tone is formal yet playful—evoking classic, storybook, and fantasy-leaning editorial typography. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add a sense of ceremony and intrigue, while the lively curves keep it from feeling austere.
The design appears aimed at delivering a distinctive, high-drama serif voice with calligraphic cues and sculptural detailing. Its varying proportions and ornamental terminals prioritize character and memorability over neutral, continuous text color.
Round letters (like O/o) show strong internal modulation and tapered entry/exit points, and several glyphs feature distinctive, pointed finishing strokes that read as pen-influenced rather than purely geometric. Numerals echo the same high-contrast logic with angular terminals, making them visually consistent in headlines.
