A calligraphic, hand-drawn serif with ink-like stroke modulation and subtly uneven outlines. Stems show gentle tapering and occasional flared terminals, while curves carry a slightly rough, pen-made edge rather than geometric smoothness. Proportions are compact with a relatively low x-height, and spacing feels lively, with small variations in letterwidths and sidebearings that reinforce the drawn rhythm. Uppercase forms are broad and decorative, while lowercase keeps readable, bookish shapes with distinctive descenders and occasional swash-like turns.
It works well for display and short-to-medium text where a handcrafted, historical feel is desired—such as book titles, fantasy or folklore branding, posters, menus, and artisanal packaging. In longer paragraphs it remains legible, but the active texture and compact lowercase favor comfortable reading sizes rather than very small UI applications.
The font conveys a storybook and old-world tone, with a touch of whimsy and rustic charm. Its pen-crafted irregularities and soft, flared terminals suggest historical or fantasy-flavored lettering rather than modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to mimic formal pen lettering translated into a consistent digital hand, prioritizing character and warmth over strict uniformity. It aims to deliver a period-leaning, calligraphic voice suitable for narrative, thematic, and decorative typography.
Numerals follow the same handmade logic, with simplified, slightly asymmetrical constructions and tapered ends. Overall texture becomes more pronounced in longer text, where the natural variation in stroke edges and spacing creates an organic, manuscript-like color.
