A lively, calligraphic roman with gently irregular, inked strokes and softly bracketed, flared serifs. Curves are rounded and full, with subtle stroke modulation that suggests a broad-nib or pen-drawn origin without connecting letters. Capitals are slightly decorative with occasional swash-like terminals, while the lowercase maintains a readable, steady texture with a modest x-height and open counters. Overall spacing feels organic rather than mechanical, producing a warm, animated line color in text.
Well suited for display and short-to-medium text where personality is desired: book covers, chapter headings, children’s materials, packaging, café or boutique branding, and posters. It can work for body copy at comfortable sizes, but its handcrafted irregularities will be most effective where warmth and charm are priorities.
The tone is playful and story-driven, evoking handmade signage, folklore, and vintage book typography. Its soft serifs and buoyant curves give it an approachable, slightly theatrical personality that feels more charming than formal.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of hand-rendered, calligraphic lettering in a readable serifed structure—combining traditional proportions with playful terminal flourishes to create a distinctive, inviting voice for editorial and display use.
Several forms show intentional asymmetry and expressive terminal flicks, especially in diagonals and curved joins, which adds character at larger sizes. Numerals are simple and rounded, matching the informal rhythm of the letters.
