A decorative serif with an intentionally handmade, slightly uneven rhythm. Strokes are gently modulated with soft, flared wedge serifs and rounded, sometimes bulb-like terminals that give the outlines a cut-by-hand feel rather than a mechanically perfect finish. Curves are open and smooth, counters are generous, and the overall texture reads light and airy, with small idiosyncrasies in joins and endings that add character without becoming messy.
It suits short-to-medium text where personality is desirable: book covers and chapter headings, boutique branding, labels and packaging, posters, and editorial pull quotes. It can work for brief passages in print or on screen when set with comfortable size and leading so the handmade details remain clear.
The tone is warm and approachable, evoking storybooks, folk craft, and casual editorial typography. Its quirky terminals and softly bracketed serifs convey a playful, nostalgic mood more than a formal or corporate one.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with a handcrafted, slightly whimsical finish—delivering a readable skeleton while emphasizing charming, organic terminals and a lively, human cadence.
The font maintains consistent serif logic across caps, lowercase, and numerals, but preserves subtle irregularities that create a lively line. Numerals share the same soft, slightly calligraphic finishing, helping mixed text feel cohesive. In longer text, the distinctive terminal shapes become part of the texture, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect whether it feels charming or busy.
