A slanted, brush-like serif with sturdy strokes and softly flared terminals. Letterforms show a calligraphic rhythm: rounded bowls, gently tapered joins, and wedgey, inked-looking ends that suggest a broad-nib or brush tool. Proportions are slightly irregular in a deliberate way, giving the alphabet a lively texture while keeping consistent stroke weight and clear silhouettes. The numerals echo the same swashy, rounded construction with chunky curves and angled stress.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its expressive, brushed details can be appreciated—titles, pull quotes, packaging marks, and event pieces. It can also work for larger body text in editorial or storybook contexts where a warm, crafted tone is desired.
The overall tone is warm and personable, mixing a traditional, old-style flavor with a playful handwritten bounce. It feels expressive rather than formal, with enough weight and flourish to sound confident and upbeat.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of confident hand lettering in a structured typographic form—combining readable, traditional serif shapes with brushy terminals and an energetic slant for distinctive display impact.
Capitals read as bold, poster-ready shapes with pronounced curves and occasional spur-like serifs, while lowercase keeps a compact, energetic flow. The italic slant is consistent across letters, and the heavy strokes create strong color on the page, especially in longer lines of text.
