A serif text face with subtly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals that give the outlines an inked, hand-cut feel. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, with gentle swelling into joins and endings rather than sharp contrast. Capitals are slightly narrow and stately, while lowercase forms are rounder and more irregular in rhythm, with noticeable entry/exit strokes and curved shoulders. The numerals follow the same carved, flared logic, with sturdy shapes and softly tapered ends that keep the set cohesive.
Well-suited to book covers, chapter headings, pull quotes, and other editorial display uses where a traditional yet lively serif is desired. It can also work in branding and packaging for artisanal, heritage, or narrative-driven products, and for posters or invitations that benefit from a crafted, storybook tone.
The overall tone is old-world and personable, balancing traditional bookish cues with a lightly whimsical, handmade character. It feels warm and familiar rather than formal, suggesting folklore, craft, and period-inspired storytelling.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif proportions through flared, softly tapered terminals and an organic drawing style. It aims for readable, familiar letterforms while adding personality through calligraphic swelling, gentle asymmetries, and a lightly textured silhouette.
Spacing and rhythm read as deliberately uneven in a natural way, which adds charm in display and short text but can feel busy at very small sizes. The distinctive flared terminals show most clearly on straight stems and diagonals, reinforcing a carved or brush-influenced impression across the alphabet.
