A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with smooth, brush-like modulation and frequent tapered terminals. Strokes swell through curves and narrow into sharp points, giving letters a slightly sculpted, flared look without connected script joins. Proportions are lively and somewhat irregular, with variable character widths, rounded bowls, and occasional extended entry/exit strokes that create a gently decorative silhouette. Spacing reads open and airy in text, while the numerals and capitals maintain the same soft contrast and tapering finish.
Best suited to display settings such as titles, chapter heads, posters, packaging, and invitation-style materials where the decorative terminals and animated rhythm can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or brief paragraphs when set with generous size and leading to preserve its open, handcrafted texture.
The overall tone is playful and storybook-like, with a lightly medieval or fairytale flavor created by the flared strokes and whimsical curves. It feels personable and crafted rather than formal, balancing charm with enough structure to remain readable in short passages.
Likely intended to evoke a hand-lettered, calligraphic voice that feels warm and imaginative, adding personality and a touch of ornament to display typography while staying legible through unconnected, roman letterforms.
Capitals carry the strongest flourish, producing distinctive word shapes in headlines, while lowercase forms keep a simpler rhythm with occasional sweeping tails on letters like g, y, and z. The texture is noticeably calligraphic: curves look drawn in a single flowing motion, and terminals often end in teardrop-like points that add sparkle at larger sizes.
