A calligraphic serif design with flared, wedge-like terminals and a subtly inked stroke that gives letters a sculpted, cut-from-pen feel. Forms are generally upright with broad proportions, but individual letters show lively, hand-driven irregularities in curves and joins. Strokes transition with moderate contrast, and counters tend to be open and rounded, while diagonals and arms finish in sharp, tapered points. Overall spacing and widths vary slightly across the alphabet, contributing to an animated rhythm in text.
Best suited for display settings where its distinctive wedges and hand-cut texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book covers, menus, packaging, and branding marks. It can also work for short editorial callouts or chapter titles, especially in historical, fantasy, or craft-oriented themes.
The tone feels old-world and storybook, with a slightly medieval, ornamental flavor. Its energetic terminals and uneven cadence add warmth and personality, suggesting handcrafted signage or decorative editorial voice rather than neutral body typography.
The design appears intended to evoke formal calligraphy interpreted through a bold, decorative serif lens, prioritizing expressive terminals and a handcrafted rhythm. It aims to provide an illustrative, characterful voice that stands out in titles and thematic branding.
Lowercase features a single-storey “a” and a calligraphic “g,” and many letters lean on strong wedge terminals that create pronounced texture in longer passages. Numerals follow the same carved, flared logic, reading best when given a bit of air and size.
