A lively serif with a right-leaning italic posture and strongly sculpted, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic logic with tapered joins, rounded terminals, and gently swelling curves that keep counters open while giving the outlines a soft, molded feel. Proportions are slightly compact with a steady x-height and noticeable width variation across letters, creating an organic rhythm. Uppercase forms are robust and curvy, while lowercase features single-storey a and g, a curved tail on y, and a narrow, angled f that reinforces the flowing texture.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where its sculpted serifs and italic movement can be appreciated—such as book covers, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for packaging and hospitality menus when a friendly, vintage-leaning tone is desired, especially at sizes that preserve the subtle shaping in the serifs and terminals.
The overall tone is warm and characterful, balancing classic bookish cues with a playful, slightly eccentric finish. Its soft curves and animated serif shapes feel inviting and informal rather than strict or editorial, suggesting a handcrafted, story-driven personality.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable serif with italic energy and decorative nuance, combining traditional serif structure with softened, calligraphy-informed details. It aims for strong presence without sharpness, producing a distinctive, readable texture that feels expressive and personable.
Round letters (like O and Q) read particularly full and smooth, with the Q distinguished by a prominent, curling tail. Numerals are similarly curvy and sturdy, keeping the same soft terminals and slightly calligraphic modulation for a cohesive text-and-display voice.
