A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with a consistent rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes end in tapered, brush-like terminals with occasional soft wedges, and many letters include modest swashes and hooked entries that create a lively rhythm. Proportions are relatively narrow with a compact lowercase and small counters, while capitals are more open and gestural, often featuring curved stems and decorative spur-like finishes. Overall texture is high-contrast and slightly irregular in a controlled way, preserving a human, pen-made feel while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and tapering can be appreciated—book covers, headlines, posters, and branded wordmarks. It also fits invitations, menus, and packaging that aim for a crafted, traditional voice, especially when paired with a quieter text face for longer reading.
The tone feels classic and literary, suggesting old-world craftsmanship rather than modern minimalism. Its energetic curves and ink-like tapering add a whimsical, storybook character, while the contrast and structured forms keep it on the elegant, formal side.
The design appears intended to evoke formal calligraphy interpreted through a lively, hand-inked drawing style. It balances readability with decorative motion, aiming to deliver a distinctive, classic voice for prominent text rather than neutral body copy.
Letterforms show a mix of restrained calligraphic discipline and expressive detailing: rounded bowls and looping joins appear alongside sharper diagonals and pointed terminals. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic with varied widths and noticeable stroke contrast, helping them blend naturally with the text rather than reading as mechanical figures.
