A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with tapered strokes and subtle flare at terminals that suggests a pen or brush with a slightly dry edge. The letterforms mix rounded bowls with occasional angular turns, producing a gently uneven rhythm and varied character widths across the alphabet. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with distinctive shapes in letters like Q, R, and S, while the lowercase keeps a compact x-height with tall ascenders and descenders that add vertical liveliness. Numerals follow the same handmade logic, with slightly irregular curves and a simple, readable construction.
Best suited to display settings where character and atmosphere matter: book and chapter titles, posters, packaging, and event branding. It can also work for short pull quotes or introductory text at larger sizes, where the lively stroke rhythm remains clear and intentional.
The overall tone feels storybook and folkloric—formal enough to evoke old-world headings, but playful through its uneven cadence and expressive terminals. It reads as warm and human, with a lightly medieval or fantasy-leaning flavor rather than a strict historical revival.
The design appears intended to emulate hand-rendered calligraphy in an upright roman structure, balancing readability with decorative personality. Its goal seems to be conveying an old-world, crafted feel suitable for narrative, fantasy, or artisanal contexts without resorting to fully connected script.
The texture comes from consistent tapering and small inconsistencies in stroke endings, which create a lively color in text. Spacing appears intentionally loose and organic, helping maintain clarity despite the variable character widths.
