A slanted, calligraphic serif with irregular, hand-drawn construction and softly flared terminals. Strokes show mild modulation and a brushy edge quality, with occasional swelling at joins and tapered ends that mimic ink-on-paper. Uppercase forms are compact and slightly uneven in rhythm, while lowercase adds more movement through long ascenders, hooked entry strokes, and varied bowl shapes. Numerals follow the same lively, slightly inconsistent detailing, reinforcing an intentionally organic, non-mechanical texture.
Best suited to short to medium-length settings where character is more important than strict uniformity—display headlines, poster copy, packaging accents, and cover titling. It can also work for playful pull quotes or editorial callouts where a handmade, eccentric tone is desired.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, with a mischievous, homemade charm. Its uneven rhythm and inky curls suggest a lighthearted, storybook personality rather than formal refinement, giving text a whimsical, character-driven voice.
The design appears intended to capture an expressive, inked italic feel with deliberately irregular shaping, offering a distinctive decorative voice for informal, imaginative typography.
Spacing and letterform widths vary noticeably, creating a bouncy texture in words and lines. Curved letters (like S, C, and e) lean into exaggerated hooks and spur-like finishes, while some verticals terminate in small wedge-like feet that read as softened serifs.
