A hand-drawn serif with irregular, brushy strokes and subtly uneven contours. Terminals are often flared or slightly blunted, giving the letters a carved-ink feel rather than crisp geometry. Curves wobble gently, counters stay fairly open, and spacing varies from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, human rhythm. The numerals and capitals share the same textured, slightly distressed edge treatment, keeping the set visually cohesive in running text.
Best suited for display roles such as book covers, posters, and headlines where a handmade voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial callouts, labels, and packaging that benefit from a rustic, artisanal impression, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is informal and characterful, with a vintage, storybook warmth. Its imperfections read as intentional—more handcrafted than messy—adding a playful, slightly spooky or folk-art edge depending on context.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-rendered lettering with a serif structure, balancing legibility with expressive, ink-like texture. It aims to provide an approachable, crafted alternative to clean text serifs for atmospheric or playful branding and titling.
Capitals tend to feel more decorative, with occasional exaggerated strokes and asymmetry, while lowercase forms remain readable and steady for longer passages. The texture becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the rough edges and stroke modulation contribute strongly to the personality.
