A decorative serif with thin hairlines and sharper, heavier stems that create a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Many capitals feature curled terminals and small spiral-like flourishes that sit at stroke ends or inside bowls, giving the set a lively, embellished silhouette. Serifs are fine and pointed with a slightly calligraphic feel, and curves are smooth and open, especially in round letters like C, O, and Q. Numerals follow the same vocabulary, with several figures using curled entry/exit strokes for a cohesive ornamental texture.
Best suited to display use where the curled terminals and high-contrast structure can be appreciated—headlines, invitations, event materials, boutique branding, and packaging. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but the ornamental capitals and fine hairlines will generally feel most at home in titling and accent typography.
The overall tone is refined but playful—an elegant display serif with a hint of whimsy and theatrical charm. The curled terminals and swashes suggest a storybook or boutique sensibility rather than a strictly formal, academic one.
The design appears intended to merge a classical serif foundation with decorative, calligraphic flourishes, especially in the capitals and numerals, to create a distinctive voice for expressive display typography.
Decorative details are most pronounced in the uppercase, where the flourishes can become prominent at larger sizes and add distinct word shapes. In text settings, the contrast and occasional curls create a sparkling texture that reads as intentional ornamentation rather than purely utilitarian typography.
