A decorative serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a calligraphic, tapered construction. Stems often swell and pinch, ending in sharp, flared, wedge-like terminals rather than bracketed serifs, giving the letterforms a crisp, blade-cut silhouette. The curves are narrow and upright with lively stress and occasional offbeat inflections, producing an irregular rhythm that feels intentionally stylized rather than purely text-oriented. Numerals and capitals show especially dramatic verticals and pointed joins, while lowercase maintains a relatively moderate x-height with tight apertures and delicate hairlines.
Works best for display typography where its pointed terminals and high-contrast detailing can be appreciated: headlines, posters, book and album covers, and distinctive branding or packaging. In longer passages it can function for short pull quotes or titling, but the decorative construction and tight rhythm favor larger sizes and moderate tracking.
The overall tone is elegant but mischievous—refined contrast and classical cues mixed with eccentric, spiky details. It reads like a vintage display face with a slightly gothic or storybook twist, suited to expressive, character-driven typography rather than neutral editorial setting.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, old-world display flavor by combining classical serif proportions with exaggerated tapering and sharp, flared terminals. The intent appears to be memorable personality and dramatic texture over neutrality, creating a recognizable voice for titles and brand marks.
The design’s personality comes through in its sharply tapered terminals and the way many strokes end in angled, fin-like flares. Spacing appears compact, and the contrast and thin connections suggest it will look best when given room to breathe and used above small text sizes.
