A calligraphic, hand-drawn serif with brushy, slightly irregular strokes and tapered, flared terminals that often end in sharp points. The letters keep an upright stance but vary in character width and stroke sweep, giving the line a lively rhythm rather than strict repetition. Curves are round and open in bowls and counters, while many joins and ends show subtle flicks that suggest a pen or brush lifting off the page. Numerals and capitals carry the same textured, slightly rugged finish, with occasional asymmetry that reinforces the handmade construction.
Works well for book covers, chapter titles, posters, and short editorial headlines where a hand-crafted, period-tinged voice is desired. It can also suit themed packaging, menus, or invitations, especially when paired with a simpler companion for body copy.
The font conveys a storybook and rustic tone—decorative without becoming overly ornate. Its energetic terminals and uneven brush texture add a touch of whimsy and drama, evoking hand-lettered headings and fantasy-leaning historical atmosphere.
The design appears intended to emulate formal hand-lettering with a brush or flexible pen, balancing legibility with expressive, tapered terminals and a lightly distressed edge. It prioritizes personality and narrative tone over strict geometric regularity.
In running text, the steady baseline and consistent overall proportions help it read smoothly, while the pointed terminals and textured edges remain prominent at display sizes. The contrast between thicker stems and thin hairlines is present but controlled, keeping the texture noticeable without turning into delicate engraving.
