A hand-drawn serif with noticeable stroke modulation and subtly uneven outlines that suggest ink on paper. The letterforms use bracketed, slightly wedge-like serifs and gently flared terminals, with a rhythmic irregularity in stroke thickness and curvature. Proportions are moderately narrow-to-average with rounded bowls and soft joins; counters remain open and readable. Numerals follow the same drawn-in character, with small quirks in curves and terminal shapes that keep the set cohesive.
Works well where a warm, crafted voice is desirable: book and chapter titles, packaging labels, editorial pull quotes, and posters that benefit from an informal serif. It can also suit children’s or storybook-adjacent design, and short-to-medium text settings where a lightly textured, human look is preferred.
The overall tone feels human and approachable, with a quiet literary charm. Its irregular inked edges and soft contrast give it a nostalgic, handmade personality—more personal than formal, but still legible and composed.
Likely designed to capture the familiarity of a printed, hand-rendered serif—balancing readability with visible makerly character. The intent appears to be an inviting, personal tone while keeping traditional serif structures for clarity.
Capitals show restrained, classical skeletons while retaining slight wobble in verticals and curves. The lowercase has a friendly, printed feel with gentle asymmetries (notably in bowls and shoulders) that create a lively texture in paragraphs without becoming overly decorative.
