A serif display text face with a broad stance, open counters, and a calm upright posture. Strokes are generally even with modest modulation, while terminals and serifs read as softly shaped and lightly bracketed, lending an engraved-yet-informal texture. The outlines show subtle irregularity and wobble that adds warmth and personality, and the overall rhythm is airy and spacious with generous sidebearings.
Works well for headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text where a vintage or literary voice is desired. It suits book covers and interior titling, packaging and labels, invitations, posters, and branding for cafes, boutiques, or heritage-themed projects that benefit from a friendly, slightly whimsical serif.
This face feels bookish and gently whimsical, with a touch of old-fashioned charm. The slightly playful, hand-inked steadiness gives it an inviting, storybook tone rather than a strict editorial seriousness.
The design appears intended to blend familiar serif structure with a more human, slightly imperfect drawing, creating a readable voice that still feels distinctive. Its wide proportions and open forms prioritize clarity at text and display sizes while the gently uneven contours add character.
Uppercase forms are stately but not rigid, and the lowercase keeps a rounded, approachable cadence. Numerals are clear and stylistically consistent with the letterforms, making them suitable for display use alongside text.
