A lively, humanist-leaning text face with subtly flared strokes and wedge-like terminals that create a gently calligraphic rhythm without fully committing to a serif structure. Curves are slightly irregular and softly tensioned, giving rounds and bowls a hand-shaped feel, while stems show modest thick–thin variation. Proportions are fairly open and readable with a straightforward x-height, and the overall color on the page is even despite small per-glyph idiosyncrasies that add texture.
Well-suited for display and short-to-medium text where character is desirable: book covers, editorial headings, posters, and brand marks that want an organic, crafted feel. It can also work for packaging and labels, especially when paired with simpler supporting typography.
The tone feels playful and story-driven, like handmade lettering refined into a consistent type system. Its mild irregularities and tapered endings lend warmth and personality, suggesting an approachable, slightly folk or fantasy flavor rather than a strictly corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend everyday readability with a handmade, tapered stroke language, offering a distinctive alternative to neutral text faces. It aims to feel expressive and human while staying disciplined enough for continuous reading in larger sizes.
In text, the face maintains good flow and spacing, with noticeable individuality in diagonals and curved joins that keeps lines from feeling mechanical. Numerals and capitals share the same tapered, slightly calligraphic finishing, supporting a cohesive voice across mixed-case settings.
