A flared serif with gently swelling stems and softened, tapered stroke endings that read as lightly calligraphic rather than rigidly constructed. Curves are full and rounded, with slightly irregular (hand-cut) energy in the joins and terminals, creating a lively rhythm. Capitals are broad and expressive, while the lowercase shows compact proportions with a notably low x-height and prominent ascenders, giving text a distinctive, old-style color. Numerals follow the same flared, rounded logic, with open counters and softly shaped terminals that keep the figures friendly and informal.
Best suited to display uses where its personality can lead—book covers, editorial headlines, posters, and branding with a heritage or artisanal angle. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a distinctive, story-forward texture is desired, though the low x-height favors comfortable sizes over tiny UI text.
The overall tone feels warm, storybook-like, and pleasantly old-fashioned. Its flared finishes and buoyant shapes suggest handmade printing, craft packaging, and literary or folkloric settings rather than corporate neutrality.
Likely designed to evoke an old-style, hand-inked or hand-set impression with flared stroke endings and a gently calligraphic build. The intention appears to balance readability with character, offering a vintage, narrative voice that feels approachable and crafted.
The texture in paragraphs is moderately dark and organic, with terminals that often flare or taper in a way that adds motion across a line. Round letters (like O/o) appear generous and smooth, while diagonals and joins keep a subtly quirky, human touch that prevents the design from feeling mechanical.
