A light, wiry serif with a hand-drawn, ink-pen character and subtly irregular stroke flow. Serifs are small and often flared or wedge-like rather than sharply bracketed, with rounded terminals that taper and swell as if written with a flexible nib. Curves are open and slightly quirky (notably in round letters), while verticals stay mostly straight but show gentle modulation and unevenness that keeps the rhythm lively. Proportions lean narrow with a short x-height and comparatively tall ascenders, giving lowercase an airy, delicate texture; figures follow the same informal, slightly wobbly construction.
Well suited to short headlines, titles, and packaging where a friendly, artisanal voice is desired. It can work for book covers, invitations, and boutique branding, especially when set with generous tracking and comfortable line spacing. For longer text, it performs best at larger sizes where the delicate strokes and short x-height remain clear.
The overall tone is playful and human, suggesting casual lettering, folklore, or handmade craft. Its gentle imperfections and soft terminals feel approachable and a little mischievous rather than formal or technical.
Likely intended to deliver a hand-rendered, calligraphic serif look with decorative warmth, balancing recognizable serif structures with intentionally informal strokes and charming irregularities.
Capital forms have a decorative, lightly calligraphic presence that can read as display-forward, while the lowercase remains simple and readable at moderate sizes. Spacing appears loose and open in the sample text, reinforcing the light color and breezy rhythm.
