A calligraphic, hand-drawn serif with tapered strokes and soft, flared terminals that feel brush-made rather than mechanically constructed. Letterforms show gentle asymmetry and slight baseline wander, with lively rhythm and variable stroke endings that create a textured color on the page. The uppercase has broad, slightly ornamental proportions (notably in curved letters like C, G, and S), while the lowercase stays compact with a relatively short x-height and simple, open counters. Numerals and punctuation follow the same organic, slightly uneven logic, keeping the set cohesive while preserving a human, drawn quality.
Well-suited for headings, short passages, and titling where a handcrafted, narrative voice is desirable—such as book covers, theater posters, boutique packaging, and event invitations. It can also work for pull quotes or section heads where you want a distinct, personable texture without connecting script forms.
The overall tone is playful and old-world, evoking storybook titles, folk craft, and theatrical signage. Its irregularities read as intentional and friendly, giving text a charismatic, handmade charm rather than a formal, bookish neutrality.
The design appears intended to capture a formal-yet-handmade calligraphic feel: serifed letterforms with brush-like modulation, controlled structure, and enough irregularity to signal human touch. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over strict geometric consistency.
The font’s stroke modulation and terminal flares become more noticeable at larger sizes, where the subtle quirks in curves and joins add personality. In longer passages it remains readable, but the animated shapes and uneven texture make it feel more like display text than quiet body copy.
