A slanted, calligraphic serif with softly brushed construction and gently irregular, hand-made contours. Strokes show modest contrast with tapered entries and exits, and many terminals end in rounded, slightly bulb-like or wedge-shaped finishes that read as inked rather than mechanically drawn. The letterforms are compact with softly squarish bowls and open apertures, while capitals carry understated flourish through curved spurs and subtly swelling joins. Overall spacing and rhythm feel lively, with small variations in stroke texture and curve tension that reinforce an organic, written look.
Well suited for display settings such as book covers, editorial headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a handcrafted voice is desirable. It can also work for invitations or event materials when used at comfortable sizes, especially in short paragraphs or pull quotes where its lively texture can shine.
The font conveys a warm, storybook tone with an old-world, craft sensibility. Its informal calligraphic energy feels personable and inviting rather than strict or corporate, adding charm and movement to headings and short passages.
Likely designed to emulate a pen-or-brush calligraphic hand in a readable serif structure, balancing decorative character with practical text shaping. The aim appears to be an expressive, human feel with consistent enough forms for coherent word rhythm across longer lines.
Uppercase forms are distinctive and decorative without becoming ornate, pairing well with the more casual, rounded lowercase. Numerals follow the same brushed, slightly calligraphic logic, with soft curves and tapered ends that keep them visually consistent in mixed text.
