A soft, calligraphic serif with broad proportions and gently rounded forms. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with subtle swelling at curves and pronounced bracketed serifs that read as small, teardrop-like terminals. Counters are open and round, joints are cushioned rather than sharp, and the overall rhythm feels relaxed with generous sidebearings. Uppercase letters carry modest flourish in entry strokes and terminals, while lowercase keeps a sturdy, readable structure with a slightly hand-drawn irregularity that avoids looking rigidly geometric.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short-to-medium passages where its broad stance and decorative serifs can be appreciated. It works well for book and editorial display, packaging, café or boutique branding, posters, and signage that benefits from an approachable, classic feel.
The tone is friendly and nostalgic, evoking printed storybooks, traditional signage, and craft-oriented branding. Its rounded serifs and mild flourishes add a polite formality without becoming stiff, giving text a warm, human presence.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a hand-rendered, calligraphic finish, prioritizing warmth and personality while keeping letterforms sturdy and readable. Its wide set and soft terminals aim to create an inviting display texture with a vintage-leaning charm.
The figures are wide and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ rounded, low-tension construction. The sample text shows consistent texture at display sizes, with distinctive terminal shapes that become a defining stylistic feature and help create a recognizable voice in headings and short passages.
