A calligraphic serif with softly flared, wedge-like serifs and tapered stroke endings that suggest a broad-nib or brush influence. Letterforms show gentle asymmetry and a subtly uneven rhythm, with rounded joins, slightly swelling curves, and occasional spur-like terminals. Proportions lean classical, with compact lowercase and relatively prominent capitals; counters are open but not geometric, and the overall texture reads lively rather than strictly uniform.
Well-suited to display and short-to-medium text where a crafted, old-world mood is desirable—such as book titles, chapter openers, posters, menus, packaging, and event invitations. It can also work for identity accents (logos and wordmarks) when a warm, artisanal impression is needed.
The font conveys a traditional, storybook tone with a hint of medieval or folk character. Its hand-formed irregularities and softened serifs create a personable, slightly theatrical voice that feels crafted and expressive without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to emulate formal hand-lettering with controlled contrast and flared serifs, balancing readability with a distinctive, made-by-hand texture. The intent appears to be an expressive, heritage-leaning serif that brings character to headlines and illustrative typography.
In text, the face produces a dark, textured color with noticeable personality in diagonals and curved strokes. Capitals carry strong presence for headings, while the lowercase maintains a readable, slightly bouncy cadence; numerals follow the same tapered, calligraphic logic and feel consistent alongside letters.
