A flared serif with gently swelling stems and tapered stroke endings that read as soft, wedge-like serifs rather than sharp bracketed details. The letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a small x-height and a lively, uneven rhythm created by subtly irregular curves and varied terminal shapes. Counters are generally round and open, while stroke modulation stays mild, keeping the texture even despite the expressive contours. Numerals and capitals follow the same hand-drawn, slightly idiosyncratic construction, with occasional curls and hooked terminals that add character without heavy contrast.
Well suited to display contexts where personality matters—titles, book covers, packaging, and boutique branding—especially for themes like folklore, fantasy, heritage, or artisanal goods. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set generously, but its compact lowercase favors larger sizes for clarity.
The overall tone is playful and storybook-like, mixing an old-world, folk sensibility with an approachable warmth. Its quirky terminals and gentle flaring suggest handmade lettering, giving text a lightly magical, vintage charm rather than a formal editorial voice.
The design appears intended to evoke flared, calligraphic serif traditions with a deliberately human, slightly irregular finish. It balances readable structure with decorative terminals to deliver a distinctive, narrative-friendly voice.
Curled terminals appear in several glyphs (notably on letters like C, G, and S), and a few forms lean into distinctive hooks and asymmetric joins that create a decorative sparkle in display sizes. In longer passages the tight proportions and short x-height give a compact, slightly archaic color that works best with comfortable sizing and spacing.
