A wiry serif with small, slab-like terminals that often flare and bracket into the stems, giving a lightly inked, hand-drawn texture. Strokes stay mostly even in weight but show subtle swelling at joins and ends, with slightly irregular curves and asymmetrical details that keep the rhythm lively. Proportions are compact and relatively narrow, with a modest x-height and generous ascenders/descenders; spacing feels a touch loose and organic rather than mechanically uniform. The alphabet mixes straight, gently tapered stems with round, open bowls, producing a readable but intentionally imperfect silhouette.
Works well for book covers, chapter titles, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where a human, period-tinged voice is desirable. It can also suit packaging, café or craft branding, invitations, and posters that benefit from a charming, handcrafted serif texture.
The overall tone is quaint and literary, suggesting old-world printing, fairy-tale headings, or a hand-inked manuscript. Its slight wobble and bristled terminals add warmth and personality, leaning playful without becoming cartoonish.
The design appears intended to bridge classic slab-serif structure with a hand-rendered finish, prioritizing character and narrative atmosphere over strict geometric regularity. It aims to feel like ink on paper—consistent enough for reading, but lively enough to signal a crafted, vintage sensibility.
Capitals have a display-like presence with distinctive curves and terminal shaping, while lowercase maintains a simple, familiar construction that supports longer text. Numerals follow the same hand-inked logic, with informal curves and lightly slabbed ends that keep them cohesive in mixed settings.
