A calligraphic, hand-drawn serif style with gently flared, brush-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms show subtle irregularities and lively modulation, with tapered entries/exits and occasional hooked or curled strokes that give the shapes a drawn-by-hand rhythm. Counters are open and generous, and the overall construction leans on simplified, slightly bouncy forms rather than strict geometric symmetry, keeping the texture warm and organic in both caps and lowercase.
Well-suited to display-driven work where personality matters: book covers, short headlines, packaging, café/market branding, and invitations. It can also serve in brief text passages or pull quotes when a handcrafted, traditional tone is desired, especially at comfortable reading sizes.
The font conveys a warm, storybook tone with a lightly old-world, folkloric feel. Its soft curves and playful, inked gestures read as friendly and human, suggesting craft, tradition, and a touch of whimsy without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to blend formal calligraphic cues with approachable hand-lettering, creating an expressive serif that feels crafted rather than mechanized. Its consistent brush-like terminals and mild irregularity suggest a focus on charm and narrative character for editorial and branding settings.
Capitals have a gently ornamental presence (notably in curved letters like C, G, Q, and S), while lowercase maintains an easy, readable flow with single-storey forms and relaxed proportions. Numerals follow the same brushed, rounded character, keeping a cohesive texture in mixed text.
