A lively, calligraphic serif with subtly uneven stroke edges and gently flared terminals that suggest a broad-nib or brush origin. Letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and soft, rounded joins, with tapered ends and occasional wedge-like serifs that feel lightly carved rather than mechanically crisp. Proportions vary pleasantly across the alphabet, and the curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) maintain an open, readable silhouette while preserving a hand-drawn rhythm. Numerals echo the same organic modulation and slightly quirky geometry, keeping the overall texture cohesive in text.
Well-suited to book covers, chapter openers, and editorial headlines where a handcrafted, classical mood is desired. It can also support branding and packaging for artisanal or heritage-leaning products, and works effectively in short-to-medium text passages when a textured, human voice is appropriate.
The tone is warm and story-driven, blending a historical, manuscript-like flavor with an approachable, handmade charm. Its irregularities read as intentional and human, creating a gentle sense of whimsy without tipping into novelty.
The design appears intended to evoke formal hand lettering and old-world serif traditions while keeping the rhythm relaxed and personable. It prioritizes character and narrative atmosphere, using controlled stroke contrast and flared terminals to deliver a distinctly handmade feel in both display and readable text settings.
In running text the face forms a soft, mottled typographic color, with small variations in stroke thickness and terminal shapes adding movement across lines. The capitals have a decorative, display-leaning presence, while the lowercase remains legible and characterful, making mixed-case settings feel especially natural.
