A calligraphic roman with lively, hand-drawn construction and gently flared, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show subtle pen logic with tapering and moderate thick–thin movement, creating a rhythmic texture without becoming overly ornate. Proportions are compact and slightly irregular in a natural way, with varied glyph widths and a noticeably small x-height against taller ascenders and descenders. Curves are softly swollen and counters stay open, while capitals carry distinctive, brushy entry and exit strokes that read as informal yet controlled.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where personality is desired: book and chapter titles, posters, event materials, invitations, and boutique branding or packaging. It can also work for pull quotes and headings in editorial layouts, where its lively rhythm adds warmth and narrative character.
The overall tone feels storybook and old-world, with a playful, slightly theatrical voice. Its hand-made irregularities and flared terminals evoke craft, folklore, and period-flavored display typography rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, historically flavored calligraphic texture with a hand-rendered charm—bridging the gap between a casual drawn script and a structured roman for expressive titling.
The alphabet shows consistent pen-like modulation across both uppercase and lowercase, with expressive diagonals and curved joins that give lines of text a gentle sway. Numerals match the same calligraphic flavor, leaning on rounded forms and tapered ends for continuity with the letters.
