A decorative serif with calligraphic construction and noticeable thick–thin modulation. Stems and arches are slightly irregular, giving a hand-drawn rhythm, while serifs vary between fine hairline flicks and softly bracketed wedges. Counters tend toward narrow, vertical ovals; terminals often finish in tapered strokes or subtle ball-like ends. Uppercase forms are tall and stylized (notably the narrow O/Q and swashy curves), while lowercase shows a compact x-height with lively ascenders/descenders and occasional asymmetric joins, producing an intentionally uneven, organic texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where its stylized serifs and calligraphic contrast can be appreciated—headlines, book and album covers, packaging, menus, and brand marks for artisan or vintage-leaning identities. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous spacing, but it is most effective when allowed to act as a decorative voice.
The font reads as playful and old-world, with a storybook or boutique sensibility rather than a strictly formal editorial tone. Its animated terminals and slightly mischievous proportions give it a friendly, handcrafted character that feels nostalgic and decorative.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, handcrafted serif voice that evokes historical signage and storybook typography while staying legible at display sizes. The emphasis appears to be on charm and personality through tapered strokes, varied serif treatments, and lively proportions.
Round letters maintain a consistent vertical stress, and many joins and diagonals look brush- or pen-influenced rather than mechanically geometric. Numerals follow the same expressive logic, mixing upright forms with curled terminals for a cohesive, characterful set.
