A calligraphic roman with subtly irregular, hand-inked contours and gently flared terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded joins and occasional wedge-like finishing, creating a lively rhythm without becoming overly ornate. The caps are broad and stately with soft bracketing and slightly varied stroke modulation, while the lowercase keeps a readable, traditional structure with distinctive, slightly asymmetric bowls and tapered stems. Numerals echo the same hand-cut feel, with curved shapes and open apertures that match the text color of the letters.
Well-suited for titles, chapter openers, pull quotes, and display passages where a warm, traditional voice is desired. It can also serve branding and packaging for artisanal goods, as well as invitations or event materials that benefit from a formal-yet-human calligraphic flavor.
The overall tone feels storybook and old-world, suggesting a human, crafted presence rather than a strictly mechanical text face. It reads as friendly and literary, with a hint of historical formality that suits narrative and themed presentation.
Likely intended to capture the look of carefully written, calligraphy-influenced roman lettering—cleanly upright and readable, but with enough stroke modulation and terminal flair to feel handmade and expressive in display settings.
Letterforms maintain consistent proportions and spacing, but preserve small variations in curve tension and terminal shape that enhance the handmade character. The darker joins and slightly swelling strokes help create a rich texture in continuous text.
