A light, old-style serif with visibly hand-drawn construction and subtly uneven stroke texture. Stems show gentle tapering and flared endings rather than crisp, modular serifs, and curves have a slightly wobbly, inked contour that keeps the rhythm lively. Proportions lean classical with a modest x-height and relatively tall ascenders, while capitals are narrow-to-moderate and carry small, calligraphic terminals. Overall spacing feels open, with glyph widths varying naturally, reinforcing an organic, written impression.
Best suited for short to medium-length display use where its texture and calligraphic details can be appreciated—book covers, chapter openers, editorial pull quotes, posters, labels, and themed packaging. It can work for body text in larger sizes, but the uneven stroke edges and lively shapes will be most effective when given enough size and spacing.
The tone is warm and antiquarian, with a storybook and slightly whimsical character. Its irregularities read as human and crafted, suggesting parchment, folk tales, or historically inspired settings rather than modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to evoke a humanist, historically tinged reading experience with a handcrafted finish. It aims for charm and authenticity through controlled irregularity, combining traditional serif proportions with pen-like terminals and a lightly distressed contour.
Uppercase forms maintain a consistent handcrafted logic, while lowercase shows distinctive loops and entry/exit strokes on letters like g, j, and y that add personality. Numerals and punctuation match the same drawn texture, helping mixed-case text feel cohesive in longer samples.
