A calligraphic roman with pronounced stroke modulation and tapered terminals. Serifs are flared and wedge-like, with frequent spur details and gentle, brushlike hooks on joins and corners. Capitals show lively, slightly irregular silhouettes with occasional swash inflections, while lowercase forms keep compact counters and rounded bowls that taper into thin exit strokes. Overall spacing feels moderately open, with a rhythmic alternation of thick stems and hairline connections that gives text a textured, hand-rendered color.
Best suited to display typography such as titles, chapter heads, posters, and branded statements where its swashy details can be appreciated. It can work for short text blocks in print or digital when set generously, but the high contrast and fine terminals favor larger sizes and comfortable line spacing.
The tone reads historical and decorative, balancing formality with a playful, storybook character. Its sharp, inked contrasts and curving hooks suggest tradition and craft, lending an ornate, slightly theatrical voice to headings and short passages.
Likely designed to evoke a hand-drawn, calligraphic tradition in a structured roman framework, providing a decorative serif option with strong contrast and distinctive hooked terminals. The intent appears to be expressive readability for display settings rather than neutral body text.
Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curving forms and angled stress that match the letter rhythm. The ampersand and uppercase shapes contribute extra flourish, making the face especially expressive at larger sizes where the fine terminals and spurs stay visible.
