A calligraphic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and gently bracketed serifs, shaped with rounded, ball-like terminals that give strokes a softened finish. Curves are full and slightly bulbous, with lively entry/exit strokes and subtle swelling at joins, creating an inked, hand-guided rhythm rather than a purely mechanical construction. Proportions are moderately wide with steady cap height and a readable, mid-range x-height; counters stay open, while some letters show playful asymmetry and tapered ends that emphasize a drawn feel.
Best suited to display contexts such as book and chapter titles, pull quotes, posters, and branding where a classic-but-playful voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial passages and announcements when set with comfortable size and spacing to let the contrast and rounded terminals remain crisp.
The overall tone is classical yet charming, combining formal bookish cues with a light, playful bounce. Its rounded terminals and animated stroke endings suggest a friendly, slightly theatrical personality suited to expressive, characterful typography.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional calligraphic serif with hand-drawn warmth, combining oldstyle proportions with decorative, rounded finishing to deliver a distinctive, personable texture in display typography.
Text setting shows strong color and clear word shapes, with distinctive caps and numerals that reinforce a traditional, ornamental flavor. The contrast and terminals become more prominent at larger sizes, where the nuanced curves and finishing details read as intentional decoration rather than texture.
